Dear colleagues,

We are happy to let you know that the application deadline for the EITN Fall School in Computational Neuroscience has been extended to the 25th of July 2021.

This 10-days intensive course in computational neuroscience will take place in Paris, France from 15 to 24 September 2021. This is a yearly event, although previous occurrences took place in the spring. We choose to keep it relatively small-scale in order to facilitate interactions between participants and teaching staff, there are about 20 seats available. There will, therefore, be a selection made after applications are closed. We encourage you to share the word widely with your collaborators and networks so that everyone who might be interested can get the chance to apply.

Applications need to be addressed by email with a resume (CV) and a cover letter at eitn@neuro-psi.fr. Please make sure to use an explicit email title such as "Application to EITN Fall School".

Organizers: Sacha Van Albada (Julich), Albert Gidon (U Berlin), Alain Destexhe (CNRS), Gorka Zamora-Lopez (UPF) and Spase Petkowski (AMU)
