4-8 July 2022 Summer School

We invite advanced master students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral 
researchers to participate in the BNNI 2022 to be held at Jagiellonian 
University in Kraków. The course is interdisciplinary and covers 
modeling at different levels of organization of the brain as well as 
elements of machine learning. The course combines lectures, tutorials 
and computer exercises for computational modeling and analysis of brain 
functions at multiple physiological and anatomical scales. The summer 
school will follow the series of the Baltic-Nordic Courses on 
Neuroinformatics (BNNI 2013 in Kaunas, BNNI 2014 in Tampere, BNNI 2015 
in Tartu, BNNI 2016 in Warsaw, BNNI 2017 in Kaunas, BNNI 2018 in 
Ventspils, BNNI 2019 in Frankfurt, BNNI 2021 online).

The target audience of the course will be advanced master students, 
doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers in natural science, 
including physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, informatics 
and information technology, and similar who would like to get an 
introduction to neuroinformatics and computational neuroscience. 
Advanced master students, doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers 
in neuroscience and psychology with strong interest in computer science, 
data analysis and mathematics, and some educational and/or research 
background in quantitative science are also encouraged to apply. The 
school will be in hybrid format with up to 40 in-person places.
