EBRAINS Training on Model Validation
4–7 May 2021
https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/education/training-on-model-validation/

The HBP Education Programme is organising a training on Model Validation. This training will guide modellers and experimentalists in model validation (comparing simulation results to experimental data) using the EBRAINS Model Validation Framework. The training will take place virtually over 4 days. Participation in the Training is open to the entire student and researchers community, regardless of whether they are affiliated with the HBP or not. We encourage young scientists to register and aim at an equal gender representation.

For a quick overview of the EBRAINS Model Validation Framework, check this short video:

- Part 1: May 4th, 5th
talks, demos, hands-on tutorials
Deadline for application: 30 April (Friday) 2021 

- Part 2 (optional): May 6th, 7th
working on own projects
Deadline for application: 28 April (Wednesday) 2021

Registration is free of charge for everyone. Visit:

Applicants are allowed to register for only Part (1), in which case they are not required to submit the abstract (mentioned below).

Call for Submissions (for Part 2):
For the 2nd part of the training, we invite interested researchers to bring their own models and to send us a short abstract, describing your model.

The abstracts should include:
• A short description of your model
• Simulators/tools used for developing and simulating models
• Overview of validation(s) you wish to implement during the training (specify at least one validation test), along with target (experimental) reference data
• If you have already some questions or comments, you are welcome to mention them
• If your model is already published, please include references at the end of the abstract

Please send your abstract latest until 30 April 2021 (Friday), 5pm (CET) to 
training-support@humanbrainproject.eu
