The EITN Fall School in Computational Neuroscience consists of a 10-day course in theoretical and computational neuroscience, from cellular to whole-brain levels. The course is structured in thematic days with lectures, tutorials, and project work.
The course is typically aimed for PhD students, young postdocs, or master studentsinterested to learn more about techniques of computational neuroscience, and the use of various simulation environments for model building. The students will form thematic groups to work on predefined subjects, with the help of tutors.
The course will cover cellular models, models of brain signals, circuit models and networks, mean-field models, and whole-brain models. There will be lectures and tutorials associated with these topics.

How to apply?
This training has a limited capacity of 20 students, therefore a selection will be performed by a scientific organizing committee. Applications are open until 30 June 2023.
Send your application by email at eitn@services.cnrs.fr The application should consist of a one-page CV and a motivation letter to explain why you would like to attend this course. You will receive a confirmation your application has be received within 5 working days (or on the day application period closes (whichever comes the soonest). If not, please consider a technical issue and submit your application again.
Selection criteria include: • Working or studying in neuroscience or related • Experience in python programming would help • Priority is given to PhD students as the primary target of this training, although Master students and post-docs are welcome to apply as well
