Dear colleagues!

I cordially invite you to submit contributions to the NEST Conference 2018 to be held on

on the beautiful campus of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences at Ås, 30km south of Oslo.

	ABSTRACT SUBMISSION CLOSES THIS SUNDAY!

We are excited to offer the following conference highlights:

	• NEST 3 — Gain first hands-on experience with the future of NEST
	• NEST Doc++ — Shape the professional documentation for NEST

	• 3-day Hackathon after the conference with focus on improving documentation

The NEST Conference provides an opportunity for the NEST Community to meet, exchange success stories, swap advice, learn about current developments in and around NEST spiking network simulation and its application. We would like you to share your experiences made and results obtained with NEST during the conference.
