Location
Michigan League, University of Michigan, 911 N University Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Description
Students, trainees, fellows, junior investigators, and outside researchers in Midwest academic institutions and industry partners are invited to attend and actively participate in this workshop. Expected workshop outcomes include:
- building an active Midwest Neuroscience Network Community,
- open-sharing of data-intense challenges, datasets, research projects, expertise, software, services, protocols, resources, learning modules, and
- productive discussions of joint (multi-institutional) grants, training opportunities, publications, research projects.
The workshop success will be measured by assessing the community involvement (early registration, active workshop participation, post-workshop activities and interactions), website analytics (geographic locations of income traffic, counts, frequencies, and intensity of web-site utilization, and evidence of collaborations on development of software tools, services, learning materials, end-to-end pipeline workflows.
Organizers include a team of transdisciplinary investigators from the Advanced Computational Neuroscience Network (ACNN):
- University of Michigan: Ivo Dinov, Rich Gonzales, George Alter
- Indiana University: Franco Pestilli, Olaf Sporns, Andrew Saykin
- OSU: Dhabaleswar Panda, Khaled Hamidouche, Xiaoyi Lu, Hari Subramoni
- CWRU: Satya Sahoo
- Washington University: Daniel Marcus, and Northwestern University: Lei Wang
Space is limited. Over 60 travel/accommodation scholarships are available for students, postdocs, fellows, and other trainee on a first-come-first-serve basis.
