NICE START is an innovative international event promoted by young researchers from the NICE_Lab at the Portuguese Catholic University. This first edition brings together early career researchers from the fields of Cognitive Sciences, Language and Neurosciences, providing a dynamic space for the exchange of ideas and the sharing of original work, with special emphasis on doctoral students.

Organized by doctoral students from the Faculty of Health Sciences and Nursing, the event's main objective is to foster interdisciplinarity, promoting in-depth discussions on the latest challenges and advances in these fields. More than just an academic meeting, NICE START aims to be a catalyst for new collaborations and scientific networks, bringing together diverse perspectives and stimulating the construction of a more connected and innovative research community.

In this context, participants will have the opportunity to present their work, explore new approaches and reflect on the future of neuroscience and cognitive sciences, in an environment of learning, sharing and cooperation.

NICE START reinforces the importance of interdisciplinarity in scientific research and stands out as an essential platform for the academic and professional growth of young researchers, encouraging the development of long-term collaborative networks.
