NeuroBridges 2023

A Mediterranean, Middle Eastern Summer School in Neuroscience

Deadline to apply: May 15, 2023

NeuroBridges 2023 is a summer school which will take place between September 3 and September 14, 2023 in Le Centre de Conferences Internationales de Cluny, France (CCIC).

The school will provide an overview of theoretical and experimental frameworks used to study a variety of decision making processes. It will cover different model systems from rodents to humans and a plethora of decision making mechanisms.

Another objective of Neurobridges is to bring together Mediterranean and Middle Eastern scientists, in order to promote scientific cooperation between young researchers from these countries. The organizers of NeuroBridges are convinced that such scientific collaborations can lead to personal relations, which eventually may alleviate the political distress in the Middle East.

The school is intended for graduate students and postdocs, primarily, but not only, from the Middle East and the Mediterranean region, either working in their home countries or abroad. Applicants should have some background in related fields in neuroscience or cognitive psychology. All costs of registration and accommodation will be covered by the organizers. A limited number of travel grants will be also be available.

NeuroBridges is co-organized by Ahmed El Hady (MPI, Konstanz, Germany), Yonatan Loewenstein (Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel) and David Hansel (CNRS, Paris, France).

NeuroBridges 2023 is supported by the Simons Foundation, the CNRS and ELSC, and is in partnership with VVTNS (https://www.wwtns.online/).
