An unforgettable evening in front of the Leaning Tower

Join us for a truly special night under the stars in one of the most iconic settings in the world: the Loggiato del Bistrot dell’Opera, located just steps away from the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

The Gala Dinner of SINS 2025 is more than a pleasant meal. It’s a shared moment of beauty, conversation, and connection. Taking place in the heart of Piazza dei Miracoli, this elegant loggia offers a stunning open-air view of the Tower, softly illuminated at night, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and intimate.

As the sun sets behind the Cathedral and Baptistery, and the sky turns from gold to deep blue, you’ll enjoy a Tuscan dinner in the company of fellow neuroscientists, in a setting where science and culture naturally come together. It’s the perfect occasion to relax after a full day of talks, to reflect, exchange ideas, and celebrate the spirit of our community in a place that inspires wonder.

Useful Information

The cost of the Gala Dinner is €100 per person.

Each participant can reserve up to three seats (for different group size requirements, please contact the organizing secretariat at secretariat@sinsmeeting.com).

Elegant attire is recommended.

Please remember to bring the dinner ticket you received and present it at the entrance.

We recommend booking early, as availability is limited and seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

An Electrifying Night for the Next Generation of Neuroscientists

Feel the beat, follow the lights, and dive into the vibrant energy of the official evening event for PhD students, postdocs, and young researchers attending SINS 2025.

Hosted at Lumière, one of Pisa’s most iconic and eclectic venues, this night is all about unwinding, connecting, and dancing together after a full day of science. Once a historic cinema, Lumière is now a cultural hotspot known for its unique atmosphere and dynamic music scene. It is the perfect place to let loose and celebrate with colleagues.

Whether you’re here to dance, chat over a drink, or simply soak in the vibes, this is your chance to experience the social side of the congress in style. Expect music, movement, and memories under the city lights. And don’t forget your best groove.

Although the evening speaks the language of the young, if your spirit is still up for it (even if your knees say otherwise), more experienced scientists are absolutely welcome to join the fun.
