Started in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Neuromatch Academy is a non-profit course in computational neuroscience. Neuromatch Academy aims to introduce traditional and emerging tools of computational neuroscience to trainees. Our student population ranges from undergraduates to faculty in academic settings and also includes industry professionals. Students have a diversity of backgrounds including experimental and computational neuroscience and machine learning. NMA-Computational Neuroscience: July 5-23 NMA-Deep Learning: Aug 2-20. Applications open on April 15 and you can pre-register here.

Designed to emphasize higher cognitive functions and their underlying neural circuit mechanisms, the course aims at training talented and highly motivated students and postdoctoral fellows from Asia and around the world. We welcome both applicants with quantitative backgrounds (including Physics, Mathematics, Engineering and Computer Science) and those with experimental backgrounds. Deadline to apply: May 7

This course introduces students to the computational and mathematical techniques that are used to address how the brain solves these problems at levels of neural organization ranging from single membrane channels to operations of the entire brain. The course is appropriate for graduate students, postdocs and faculty in a variety of fields, from zoology, ethology, and neurobiology, to physics, engineering, and mathematics. Students are expected to have a strong background in one discipline, and to have made some effort to introduce themselves to a complementary discipline.

This symposium will discuss challenges and solutions for data sharing, and provide an overview of the tools and languages that make data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR).

Symposium: Monday, August, 9, 2021 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. EST
Hands-on workshop: Tuesday, August 10, 2021 from 12:00-4:00 p.m. EST

The Summer Workshop on the Dynamic Brain is an intensive, project-based residential course with a focus on the neurobiology of sensory processing, coding, and neural population dynamics. This program is intended for researchers at the graduate and postdoctoral level with an interest in developing the intersection of their scientific knowledge and their computational skills. Founded by Adrienne Fairhall and Christof Koch, the Summer Workshop on the Dynamic Brain is co-hosted by the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the Computational Neuroscience Center at the University of Washington. Application deadline: Thursday, March 25, 2021

Each year the Bernstein Network invites the international computational neuroscience community to the annual Bernstein Conference for intensive scientific exchange. Deadline to propose a workshop: May 10.

The 2021 Champalimaud Research Symposium (CRS21) focuses on the interface of neuroscience, artificial intelligence and machine learning with the main goal of starting an interdisciplinary conversation about the deep conceptual problems that emerge when trying to understand how intelligent behavior is produced in animals and machines. The topic will be highlighted from different angles to promote a worthwhile cross-talk between experimental and computational researchers. Professor Manuela Veloso (Carnegie Mellon University), Professor Jim DiCarlo (MIT McGovern Institute) and Professor Anthony Zador (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) will be the keynote lecturers. Due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus, the CRS21 may be held as a hybrid or virtual event. Abstract submission is open until July 23.

SfN's 50th annual meeting is the premier venue for neuroscientists to present emerging science, learn from experts, forge collaborations with peers, explore new tools and technologies, and advance careers. Abstract submission will open on Tuesday, July 6 and will close on Thursday, July 15.

Europe’s largest international neuroscience conference, covering all domains in modern brain research from basic to translational research. Deadline to submit a session proposal: May 20, 2021.
