Last Call for nominations for the Valentin Braitenberg Award ____________ Since 2012, the Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience awards the Valentin Braitenberg Award every two years, which honors outstanding scientific achievements in the field of computational neuroscience. Following Braitenberg’s scientific tradition, special attention is paid to theoretical studies that reveal the functional significance of brain structures and their neuronal network dynamics. The award ceremony Further information: https://bernstein-network.de/en/network/awards-and-initiatives/valentin-brai... We welcome nominations for the Valentin Braitenberg Award for Computational Neuroscience 2023 until April 30, 2023. The award will be presented at the Bernstein Conference 2023 in Berlin. _____________ Award criteria: The major criterion for the selection of the awardee is the impact of the recipient’s research on the neurosciences. In the spirit of Valentin Braitenberg’s research, special emphasis is given to theoretical studies elucidating the functional implications of brain structures and their neuronal network dynamics. The crucial work should preferentially have been carried out in a European institution. ________________ Nominations: Nominations may be submitted by scientists working in the field of Computational Neuroscience and should include the following documents: * One-page laudation, in which the scientific work of the candidate is honored with regard to the award’s criteria * CV and list of publications Please send the nomination documents via e-mail to Dr. Alexandra Stein, a.stein@fz-juelich.de<mailto:a.stein@fz-juelich.de>, (Head of Bernstein Coordination Site). _________________ Former award winners: * Eve Marder * Wulfram Gerstner * David Willshaw * Alexander Borst * Moshe Abeles Dr. Alexander Lammers Press and Public Relations Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience Bernstein Coordination Site Branch Office of the Forschungszentrum Jülich at the University of Freiburg Hansastr. 9a | 79104 Freiburg | Germany Phone: +49 761 203-96787 Mail: a.lammers@fz-juelich.de<mailto:a.lammers@fz-juelich.de> Web: www.bernstein-network.de<http://www.bernstein-network.de> LinkedIn: Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience Twitter: BernsteinNeuro Mastodon: BernsteinNetwork@mastodon.world<mailto:BernsteinNetwork@mastodon.world> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
