The goal of the CodeJam workshops is to catalyze open-source, collaborative software development in computational and systems neuroscience and neuroinformatics by bringing together researchers, students and engineers to share ideas, present their work, and write code together. While the mornings are dedicated to invited and contributed talks, the afternoons are free for discussions, tutorials and code sprints.

This year's theme is "Integration". It is aimed to gather scientists, students and engineers from different disciplines collaborating to build a highly integrated research infrastructure for computation-based neuroscience, and to show how this infrastructure can be used to model brain circuits, behaviour and learning, develop novel bio-inspired computing systems, and help discover new drugs for neurological disorders.
