An IBRO Neuroscience School.
Part of the EU Neuro-IT Network of Excellence
July 30 - August 24, 2001
International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste Portugal
Course Support
The 2000 EU Advanced Course in Computational Neuroscience is supported by the European Commission (5th Framework program), by the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (Trieste), by the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation, and by the International Brain Research Organization.
A total of 32 students will be accepted. Students of any nationality can apply. About 20
students will be from the European Union and affiliated countries (Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein
and Norway plus all countries which are negotiating future membership with the EU). These
students are supported by the European Commission and we specifically encourage applications from
researchers who work in less-favoured regions of the EU, from women and from researchers from
industry.
IBRO and ICTP provide support for participation from students of non-Western countries, in
particular countries from the former Soviet Union, Africa and Asia, while The Brain Science
Foundation supports Japanese students. The Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation will support the
living costs and, if funds suffice, a fixed contribution towards travel costs of students from
other countries.
Students receiving support from the mentioned sources will receive travel grants and free full
board at the Adriatico Guest House.
