Both short lectures and longer afternoon activities will be delivered at a basic and intermediate level. Through tutorials and hands-on activities, attendees will learn how to interact with the BSP to carry out their own research, to set up and manage a data-driven collaborative project, or to use the BSP to interact with the HBP Neuroinformatics Platform. Participants will be encouraged to introduce new ideas and suggest ways to use their original experimental data/techniques to implement/use the multiscale neural model they would like to investigate.<br class=""><br class=""><b class="">Participation info:<br class=""></b><div class="">Application is open to the entire student community and early career researchers, regardless of whether they are affiliated with the Human Brain Project or not.<br class="">Participants are required to submit an abstract on their current research, a CV and a motivation letter with their application.</div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class=""><b class="">Registration fees:</b></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class=""><b class="">1 August - 10 September: 450 €</b></div><div class=""><b class="">After 10 September: 500 €</b></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class=""><i class="">The fee does not include travel and accommodation.
