Dear Colleagues, 

I write to announce an upcoming workshop: 

HBP Hippocamp 2017: Collaborative and Integrative Modeling of
Hippocampus 

to be held May 23rd - 24th at the European Institute for Theoretical
Neuroscience (EITN) in Paris, France, supported in part by the Human
Brain Project ( http://www.humanbrainproject.eu/ ). 

In short, the objective of the workshop is to highlight existing
modeling efforts and strategic datasets for modeling the hippocampus,
and define a common integrative and collaborative modeling target
including HBP and community stakeholders. The ultimate aim is to
catalyze an inclusive community-driven integration and release process
for open pre-competitive reference models of hippocampus which are well
documented and validated (supported in part by IT infrastructure funded
by HBP). Involvement from the community interested in models of
hippocampus is highly encouraged. To keep the meeting focused on the
task, participation will be limited to ~45 people, so registration is
required. 

For more details, please consult the meeting website at 

http://neuralensemble.org/meetings/Hippocamp2017/ 

for registration and further information. 

Thanks in advance for your interest, and looking forward to your
participation. 

Best regards, 

Eilif Muller
