Professors May-Britt and Edvard Moser at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience have been elected for membership to the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. The election of new academy members is said to be a rigorous process, and demands a consensus of agreement between the Presidium and the Senators of the academy. The election to the academy was made in recognition of their scientific achievements and their personal standings.
The professors Moser are also elected as foreign members to the National Academy of Sciences since 2014, and to the National Academy of Medicine since 2015.
