Important Dates:
Satellite Workshops: September 25 - 26, 2018
Main Bernstein Conference: September 26 - 28, 2018

**************************************************************

Since 2013, the Bernstein Conference hosts pre-conference workshops which provide a stage to discuss topical research questions, novel scientific approaches and challenges in Computational Neuroscience and related fields.
Workshops addressing controversial issues, open problems, and comparisons of competing approaches are encouraged. The format should be designed to foster debate, rather than a mere series of talks.
The Bernstein Conference started out as the annual meeting of the Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience and has become the largest annual single-track Computational Neuroscience conference in Europe in recent years.

Satellite Workshop schedule:
September 25, 2018, 2:00 pm - 6:30 pm
September 26, 2018, 8:30 am - noon

Workshop proposals are welcome for either half-day or full-day workshops.

Workshop costs – FINANCIAL SUPPORT:
All organizers and speakers of accepted workshops will receive a waiver for the workshop fee. Organizers of accepted workshops additionally receive a waiver for the main conference. Up to 10 selected workshops can receive financial support up to 1.500,00 € each.
