1st EBRAINS National Node Germany Workshop

Join us for the first-ever EBRAINS National Node Germany (NNG) Workshop, a remarkable back-to-back event of the Bernstein Conference 2023 in Berlin, Germany. Led by our group leader, Prof. Petra Ritter, this workshop offers insights into the EBRAINS Research Infrastructure (RI) and a thought-provoking expert discussion on the synergy between experimental and computational neuroscience. Register now!

The EBRAINS National Node Germany (NNG) is thrilled to extend an invitation to the inaugural EBRAINS NNG Workshop, scheduled as a concurrent event with the Bernstein Conference 2023 in Berlin, Germany, on September 26, 2023.

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore the EBRAINS Research Infrastructure (RI) and its applications, engage in an expert discussion on "Digital tools to bridge the gap between experimental and computational neuroscience," and partake in networking during the NNG lunch.

One of the key highlights of this workshop is the presence of our group leader, Prof. Petra Ritter. Prof. Ritter will launch this inaugural EBRAINS NNG workshop, extending her warm welcome to participants and providing a comprehensive overview of the EBRAINS RI. Her insights will set the stage for a deeper understanding of this cutting-edge research infrastructure.
