Dear colleagues, We are pleased to inform you about upcoming Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) <http://nwb.org/> workshops: NWB User Days, NWB Developer Days, and NeuroDataReHack. NWB User and Developer Days July 24th - 29th, 2023 HHMI Janelia Research Campus <https://www.janelia.org/>, VA, United States Registration deadline: April 1st, 2023 The NWB User Days (July 24th - 26th) will train users how to convert their data to NWB and publish it on the DANDI Archive <http://dandiarchive.org/>, starting from the basics and proceeding to NWB extensions, advanced data engineering techniques, and tools for analysis and visualization of NWB data. The NWB Developer Days (July 27th - 29th) will bring neuroscientists, tool builders, and research software engineers together to further the development of the NWB software ecosystem, including the data standard, core software packages, official tools, and community tools. The event is free to attend. Meals and accommodations will be provided, and you may request support for travel. To learn more and register for one or both, please visit the NWB User and Developer Days website <https://neurodatawithoutborders.github.io/nwb_hackathons/HCK15_2023_Janelia/> . NeuroDataReHack 2023 September 5th - 8th, 2023 Hotel Andalucia Center in Granada, Spain <https://www.hotelescenter.es/en/hotel-andalucia-center-granada/> Application deadline: May 1st, 2023 The goal of NeuroDataReHack is to train participants to generate new insights from existing neurophysiology data through secondary analysis. The DANDI Archive <http://dandiarchive.org/> now has 120+ neurophysiology datasets in the Neurodata Without Borders <http://nwb.org/> format spanning many species, brain areas, task types, and imaging modalities. These include high-value datasets, e.g. from The Allen Institute, the MICrONS project, and the International Brain Laboratory, as well as diverse contributions from neuroscience labs around the world. NeuroDataReHack will teach attendees how to maximally utilize the data and computational resources of the DANDI Archive to incorporate existing data into their scientific workflows. Example projects include but are not limited to: - Determine whether your result is present in another species or brain area. - Showcase the capabilities of your tool or analysis on existing data from another lab. - Explore follow-up questions to a study. Following the event, participants will be invited to apply for a Kavli Foundation Neurodata Discovery Award, which awards $50,000 (USD) of funding to continue projects that come out of the NeuroDataReHack event. This event is held as a satellite of the IBRO World Congress 2023 <http://ibro2023.org/>. Attendance of IBRO 2023 is not a requirement for application. The event is free to attend. Meals and accommodations will be provided to attendees. Learn more and apply at the NeuroDataReHack 2023 website <https://neurodatawithoutborders.github.io/nwb_hackathons/HCK16_2023_Granada_RH/> .
