NeuroBridges
2020 Summer school , Cluny, France
( September 6th - September 17th, 2020)
I
would like to bring to your
attention the NeuroBridges 2020 Summer School
NeuroBridges is a
one-of-a-kind series of
scientific meetings in brain research, which brings together
Mediterranean and
Middle Eastern scientists, in order to promote international
scientific
cooperation in system and computational neuroscience. A major
goal of this
school is to serve as a bridge between experimental and
theoretical
neuroscientists, addressing system-level questions. This year
the school will
primarily focus on the neural basis and computational principles
underlying
decision making.
The forthcoming NeuroBridges 2020 will be a ten-day summer school. Students will attend lectures delivered by a group of leading neuroscientists, experimentalists as well as theoreticians, which will address the fundamental questions in the field of decision making. In addition to the lectures, the students will work in groups on small research projects.
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. We will consider applicants with some background in related fields in neuroscience or cognitive psychology.
Through the online application system, you will be asked to provide personal details, academic background, a motivation letter that should include a paragraph about your quantitative skills and a CV. In addition, we request two recommendation letters.
The school will take place between September 6 and September 17, 2020 in Le Centre de Conferences Internationales de Cluny (CCIC). Cluny is a small medieval town in Burgundy, France, located about 400km southeast of Paris (accessible by fast train, TGV).
All costs of registration and accommodation will be covered by the organizers. A limited number of travel grants will also be available.
NeuroBridges is co-organized by Ahmed El Hady (Princeton Neuroscience Institute, USA), Yonatan Loewenstein(Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel) and David Hansel (CNRS, Paris, France).
Review of applications will end in May 2020.
