— The call for proposals extended to 1st September 2017 —

On the weekend of 18-19th November 2017, the first edition of AoN Brainhack Warsaw will take place. During this two-day event dedicated to students and PhD students, we will work in teams on neuroscience-related projects. The aim of the event is to meet new, enthusiastic researchers, make new friendships in academia, learn, share the knowledge on data mining and brain research, but also promote open science in the spirit of the whole Brainhack community (Craddock et al., 2016).

The venue and the exemplary projects are presented on our website: https://brainhackwarsaw.github.io/

Please note this Brainhack is a satellite event for the interdisciplinary Aspects of Neuroscience conference which will take place on 24-26th November 2017 in Warsaw. Participation in the conference is not mandatory but we encourage to also consider this.

Important deadlines:

Deadline for project proposals: September 1st, 2017
Announcement of projects: September 15th, 2017

Participant registration starts: September 1st, 2017

At the moment, the call for project proposals is open. The proposals can include various forms of a group activity, e.g., data analysis, app development, a two-day discussion club, developing a new software etc. The organizers will provide a few openly available datasets to the project authors, but developing projects using private datasets is also welcome.
