**************************************************************
Call for Workshop proposals:

Workshops: September 2 & 3, 2014 (Main Bernstein Conference: September 3 
- 5, 2014)

Deadline of proposal submission: March 1, 2014
Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2014

Conference Registration starts: April 15, 2014

**************************************************************

The Bernstein Conference has become the largest European Conference in 
Computational Neuroscience and now regularly attracts more than 500 
international participants.

Since 2013, the Bernstein conference includes a series of pre-conference 
workshops. They provide an informal forum to discuss timely research 
questions and challenges in Computational Neuroscience and related 
fields. Workshops addressing controversial issues, open problems, and 
comparisons of competing approaches are encouraged.

SCHEDULE:
Sept 2, 2014, 13:30 - 17:30 & Sept 3, 9:00 - 12:30.
You may apply for a half-day workshop, but preference will be given to 
full-day workshops (hence, which bridge across both days).

Workshop costs:
The Bernstein Conference does not provide financial support, but offers 
5 free registrations for the main conference per workshop (assigned by 
organizers).
