(Apologies for cross postings) Announcing the third annual Open Source Brain Workshop, May 12-14th 2015, Alghero, Sardinia. http://opensourcebrain.org/docs/Help/Meetings#OSB_2015 The Open Source Brain initiative aims to encourage collaborative, open source model development in computational neuroscience and is primarily supported by the Wellcome Trust. As with past OSB meetings <http://www.opensourcebrain.org/docs#Meetings> this workshop will bring together experimentalists, theoreticians and tool developers who are interested in creating open, community developed models of neuronal systems. Researchers interested in building and sharing models of any brain region and from any species are welcome to attend the meeting. There will be presentations on the latest developments and functionality of the OSB resource and associated technologies including NeuroML and LEMS. There will also be a special focus session on Wed 13th May on *creating and sharing experimentally constrained models of the hippocampus*. *Confirmed speakers* Giorgio Ascoli, Krasnow Institute, George Mason University, USA Tiago Branco, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK Claudia Colpath, Imperial College London, UK Michael Hines, Yale University, USA Peter Jonas, Institute of Science and Technology, Austria Troy Margrie, MRC National Institute for Medical Research, London, UK Michele Migliore, National Research Council, Italy & Yale University School of Medicine, USA Yiota Poirazi, Institute of Molecular Biology & Biotechnology, Foundation for Research & Technology Hellas, Greece Stefan Remy, German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, Bonn, Germany Nelson Spruston, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Janelia Farm Research Campus, Virginia, USA Full details of the workshop can be found here: http://opensourcebrain.org/docs/Help/Meetings#OSB_2015.
