<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US"
lang="EN-US"> The Bernstein Conference has become the largest
European Conference in Computational Neuroscience and now
regularly attracts more than 500 international participants.<br>
<br>
Since 2013, the Bernstein conference includes a series of
pre-conference workshops. They provide an informal forum to
discuss timely research questions and challenges in
Computational Neuroscience and related fields. Workshops
addressing controversial issues, open problems, and comparisons
of competing approaches are encouraged.<br>
<br>
SCHEDULE:<br>
Sept 2, 2014, 13:30 - 17:30 & Sept 3, 9:00 - 12:30. <br>
You may apply for a half-day workshop, but preference will be
given to full-day workshops (hence, which bridge across both
days).<br>
<br>
Workshop costs: <br>
The Bernstein Conference does not provide financial support, but
offers 5 free registrations for the main conference per workshop
(assigned by organizers). <br>
<br>
