✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The FEBS meeting titled “Generating neural diversity in the brain” took place on the island of Capri, from October 13–16. This high‐level workshop was the 20^th^ in a symposium series organized by the IGB (Instituto Genetica et Biophysica) of Naples funded by international agencies including FEBS, EMBO, European commission. The series is unusual in featuring first‐rank international scientist speakers for a meeting whose audience consists primarily of students and post‐docs. The endeavour is thus more explicitly educational than many major meetings and the young audience helps create a lively atmosphere. With intense morning and evening sessions, the afternoons are left free for the participants to explore the island, go swimming or relax. BioEssays 30:397–399, 2008. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
