theoreticians and experimentalists, who would like to get an introduction to 
neuroinformatics and computational neuroscience.

Faculty includes
Gaute Einevoll, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Aas, Norway
Bruce Graham, University of Stirling, United Kingdom
Sean Hill, the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland
Henrik Lindén, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Marja-Leena Linne, Tampere University of Technology, Finland,

and others to be named.

Venue
The course will be held in the University of Tartu, Faculty of Mathematics and 
Computer Science - Juhan Liivi 2, Tartu 50409, Estonia. 

Practical arrangements
There is a small tuition fee of 100 euros. The sponsor will provide teaching, meals 
and coffee during the course. The participants are expected to cover their travel 
and health insurance expenses (small financial support is available for those
