Dear Colleagues,

I write to announce an upcoming workshop:

to be held May 23rd-24th at the European Institute for Theoretical Neuroscience (EITN) in Paris, France, supported by the Human Brain Project (www.humanbrainproject.eu).

In short, the objective of the workshop is to highlight existing modeling efforts and strategic datasets for modeling the hippocampus, and define a common integrative and collaborative modeling target including HBP and community stakeholders. The ultimate aim is to catalyze an inclusive community-driven integration and release process for open pre-competitive reference models of hippocampus which are well documented and validated (supported in part by IT infrastructure funded by HBP). Involvement from the community interested in models of hippocampus is highly encouraged. To keep the meeting focused on the task, participation will be limited to ~45 people, so registration is required.

For more details, please consult the meeting website at

for registration and further information.

Thanks in advance for your interest, and looking forward to your participation.

Best regards,

Szabolcs Káli

On behalf of the organizing committee:
Alain Destexhe, Katherine Fregnac, Szabolcs Káli, Audrey Mercer, Michele Migliore, Eilif Muller, Armando Romani, Katrien Van Look
