This year’s edition is back at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. The theme is “Neuroengineering for Restoration to Function”, highlighting ways in which neuroengineering approaches can aid in restoring function after injury- or disease-related impairment. The goal of neuroengineering is to apply engineering principles and techniques to understand, repair, replace, and enhance the nervous system. The interdisciplinary nature of the field requires a close collaboration between neuroscientists (spanning approaches from cellular to cognitive) and engineers (including biomedical, computer science, electrical, mechanical…), and the goal of the summer school is to bring together students (from advanced undergraduate to graduate), postdocs and faculty from all these areas. After the great response to the pre-summer school workshops in Munich last year, this summer school for the first time includes a number of workshops. Summer school participants will work in small groups and gain hands-on experience in solving neuroengineering-related problems. In addition, as in previous years, there will be a range of talks from speakers in the CNE alliance (GU, TUM, Lawrence Livermore National Labs) and other institutions, discussion panels (on “the future of neuroengineering in the clinic” and “neuroethics”), as well as social activities. Get ready for an exciting week! Applications using the *online form* <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUUkBh8DYGgEHNMc6iyjgZBap8io6WDtcw...> are due April 8. Participation fees are $50 and scholarships can be provided. Breakfasts and lunches are included. Participants are responsible for travel to DC as well as housing (note that we have reserved housing in on-campus dorms). If you have questions about the summer school, please contact *neuroengineering@georgetown.edu* <neuroengineering@georgetown.edu>. We hope to see you in DC! -- CNE Team Georgetown University 202-687-3730 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Center for Neuro Engineering Announcements" group.
