**************************************************************<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
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 selection criteria for Workshop proposals will include
scientific excellence, topical relevance and gender diversity.<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<u>Satellite Workshop schedule:</u><br>
September 25, 2018, <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">2:00 pm - 6:30 pm<br>
