**************************************************************
The Bernstein Conference is the largest annual single-track Computational Neuroscience conference in Europe. It hosts pre-conference workshops which provide a stage to discuss topical research questions, novel scientific approaches and
challenges in Computational Neuroscience and related fields.
Workshops addressing controversial issues, open problems, and comparisons of competing approaches are encouraged. The format should be designed to foster debate, rather than a mere series of talks. The selection criteria for workshop proposals
will include scientific excellence, topical relevance and gender diversity.
Satellite Workshop Schedule:
September 17, 2019, 2:00 pm - 6:30 pm
September 18, 2019, 8:30 am – 12:30 pm
