<br>
**************************************************************<br>
<b>Important Dates:</b> <br>
<u>Workshops:</u> September 12 - 13, 2017 <br>

**************************************************************<br>
<br>
Since 2013, the Bernstein Conference hosts pre-conference workshops. They provide a stage to discuss topical <br>
research questions, novel scientific approaches and challenges in Computational Neuroscience and related fields. <br>
Workshops addressing controversial issues, open problems, and comparisons of competing approaches are <br>
encouraged. Workshop formats should be designed to foster debate beyond a mere series of talks.<br>
The Bernstein Conference started out as the annual meeting of the Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience <br>
and has become the largest annual single-track Computational Neuroscience conference in Europe in recent years.<br>
<br>
<u>Workshop time frame:</u><br>
September 12, 2017, 13:00 - 18:00<br>
September 13, 2017, 9:00 - 12:30 <br>
<br>
Workshop proposals are welcome for either half-day or full-day workshops.<br>
<br>
Workshop costs: NEW THIS YEAR – FINANCIAL SUPPORT:<br>
For all accepted workshops the registration is free of charge for organizers and speakers. Organizers will also receive <br>
a waiver for the main conference fee. New this year: From the accepted workshops a maximum of ten workshops <br>
will be selected to each receive financial support of up to 1.500,00 €.<br>
<br>

<br>
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS PREPARATION<br>

<br>
<b>Deadline for submission of Workshop proposals:</b><b> March 29, 2017</b><br>
<br>
Accommodation and Hotel Reservation:<br>
We strongly recommend early room booking. The number of available accommodation is limited due to several <br>
concurrent events. We arranged for room contingents in a variety of hotels that you may book by yourself by email or <br>
phone. Please follow the instructions at our Accommodations Web-site <br>
(<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.nncn.de/de/bernstein-conference/2017/venue/accommodation" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">http://www.nncn.de/de/bernstein-conference/2017/venue/accommodation</a>). <br>
We would like to emphasize that these room contingents will be held open up to different expiration dates depending <br>
on the hotel (or until they are filled). The earliest expiration date is already end of May 2017 whereas the majority of <br>
offers expire at the 12th of July 2017. We strongly encourage participants to share rooms and to book rooms as a group. <br>
Groups of three or four are possible if you book a suite. The room contingent contains a set of suits and apartments. <br>
We emphasize that it will be very difficult to book accommodation beyond the expiration dates. <br>
Please find a list of the hotels at our Accommodations Web-site. <br>
