NeuroBridges 2018 Summer school , Cluny,
France
( October 2nd - October 12th, 2018)
I would like to bring to your attention
the NeuroBridges 2018 Computational
Neuroscience 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. The organizers of
NeuroBridges also believe that these scientific
collaborations can lead to personal relations, which
eventually may help alleviate the political distress in the
Middle East.
Following the success of NeuroBridges 2017 school, NeuroBridges 2018 will
be a nine day summer school, which
will take place in Cluny, France. The school is organized by
Ahmed El Hady (Princeton), David Hansel (CNRS) and Yonatan
Loewenstein (Hebrew University). It will be comprised of
lectures delivered by a group of leading neuroscientists,
experimentalists as well as theoreticians, which will
address the fundamental questions in contemporary
neuroscience. We are very excited that Yves Frégnac (CNRS,
France ) will be giving the keynote lecture at the school.
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 from the Middle East and the Mediterranean region,
either working in their home countries or abroad. We will
consider applicants with some background in applied
mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering or
physics, interested in theoretical brain and cognitive
sciences. We will also consider those with biological or
medical background given that they show proof of basic
mathematical knowledge.
The school will take place between October 2 and October 12,
2018 in Le Centre de Conférences Internationales de Cluny
(CCIC). Cluny is a small medieval town in Burgundy, France,
located about 400km southeast of Paris (accessible by fast
train, TGV).
