Connectionists: NeuroBridges 2025 Deadline approaching

[Ahmed El Hady]

*NeuroBridges 2025*

*A Mediterranean, Middle Eastern Summer School in Neuroscience*

*Deadline to apply: April 15, 2025*


NeuroBridges 2025 is a summer school which will take place 
between September 7 and September 18, 2025 in Le Centre de Conferences 
Internationales de Cluny, France (CCIC) 
<https://streaklinks.com/B3KEKFd397UPDx5n8gyfD1BJ/https%3A%2F%2Fcollegecluny.eu%2Fen%2Fappel-a-candidatures%2Finformations-pratiques%2F>.


The school will provide an overview of theoretical and experimental 
frameworks used to study a variety of decision making processes. It will 
cover different model systems from rodents to humans and a plethora of 
decision making mechanisms.


Another objective of NeuroBridges is to bring together Mediterranean and 
Middle Eastern scientists, in order to promote scientific cooperation 
between young researchers from these countries. The organizers of 
NeuroBridges are convinced that such scientific collaborations can lead 
to personal relations, which eventually may alleviate the political 
distress in the Middle East.


The school is intended for graduate students and postdocs, primarily, 
but not only, from the Middle East and the Mediterranean region, either 
working in their home countries or abroad. Applicants should have some 
background in related fields in neuroscience or cognitive 
psychology. All costs of registration and accommodation will be covered 
by the organizers. A limited number of travel grants will also be available.
