CNS*2003 Workshops

University Miquel Hernández, 8-9 July 2003

Call for proposals

Workshops focusing on current issues in computational neuroscience will be held at University Miquel Hernández, Campus Saint Joan, on July 8 and 9, 2003, as part of the CNS*2003 conference. In a departure from previous years' practice, the two final days of the meeting will be devoted to workshops in two sessions each: morning and late afternoon. Potential organizers are invited to submit proposals for specific workshop topics.

Workshops may fall into one of three formats: 1. Discussion Workshops (formal or informal); 2. Tutorials; and 3. Mini-symposia, or they may combine more than one of these formats.

The goal of the workshops is to provide an informal forum within the CNS meeting for focused discussion of recent or speculative research, novel techniques, and open issues in computational neuroscience. Discussion workshops, whether formal (i.e., held in a conference room with projection and writing media) or informal (held elsewhere), should stress interactive and open discussions in preference to sequential presentations. Tutorials and mini-symposia provide a format for a focused exploration of particular issues or techniques within a more traditional presentation framework; in these cases too, adequate time should be reserved for questions and general discussion. The organizers of a workshop should endeavor to bring together as broad a range of pertinent viewpoints as possible.
