In February 2017, the Education Programme Office of the Human Brain Project will organise its 1st Student Conference in Vienna, Austria under the title “Transdisciplinary Research Linking Neuroscience, Brain Medicine and Computer Science”.

The event is going to take place from 8 to 10 February 2017. In the context of the 1st HBP Student Conference, young researchers from the fields of neuroscience,brain medicine and computer science receive the possibility to exchange ideas and perspectives and discuss various aspects of their particular fields of expertise relevant to the Human Brain Project. The conference offers a variety of discussion sessions, lectures and social events. Through working across boundaries and linking the various fields, it serves as a platform for both intra- and interdisciplinary exchange and is a great opportunity for extensive scientific discussions among peers and faculty, and also a fertile soil for new, innovative ideas.

All participants may submit an extended abstract and will have the opportunity to present their work. Presentations will include a brief oral presentation, a poster, or both. Abstracts to be submitted before 7 October 2016.
