        lang="EN-US"> The Bernstein Conference has become the largest
        annual Computational Neuroscience conference in Europe 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>
