Connectionists: NeuroBridges 2026 summer school – Registration Now Open

[David Hansel]

*NeuroBridges 2026*

*A Mediterranean, Middle Eastern Summer School in Neuroscience*

*Deadline to apply: April 15th, 2026*

*NeuroBridges 2026* is a summer school which will take place between *October
4 and* *October 15, 2026* in Le Centre de Conferences Internationales de
Cluny, France (CCIC)
<https://84454458.streak-link.com/Cxj80AMVlfndd-inKwgMJVkF/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. In light of the ongoing
situation in Iran, we are committed to providing full travel grants to all
students coming from Iran.*
