The third Human Brain Project (HBP) Education School is calling for applications to its comprehensive neuroscience programme.

Comprehension of the human brain requires integrated understanding on multiple scales, including channels, cells, microcircuits, brain regions and the way they affect human behaviour, e.g. perception during both wakefulness and sleep.

This school will present students with up-to-date information, models and techniques for investigating the complexity of the brain in the development of innovative insight, knowledge and theory. Daily workshops and seminars offer hands-on experience, state-of-the-art tools and techniques for neuroinformatics, analysis, modelling and simulation, as well as opportunities for scientific discussions between students and faculty experts.

The programme will start on Monday 28 November and run until Saturday 3 December 2016, with Sunday 4 December being departure day, as part of the European Commission’s framework programme Horizon 2020, of which the HBP is a flagship initiative.

Participation in the third HBP School 2016 is open to advanced master’s students, postgraduates and young researchers working in a relevant research area. Participation is a selection process based on competitive application and pre-defined criteria. Abstracts for presenting the applicants’ own work are strongly encouraged.

The programme will be hosted by the Obergurgl University Center in southwestern Austria. The centre, which specialises in sport and science, dates back to 1951 when three former customs buildings were adopted and renovated by the Obergurgl federal Sports Center and Innsbruck University’s Alpine Research Center.

Successful HBP students can request an account for the Education Website for further information on future events. The application deadline for the third programme is Wednesday 7 September 2016. Click here for more information.
