Workshop of the BCCN Berlin Oxford Teaching Alliance for Quantitative Neuroscience (BOTAQN)

The BCCN Berlin Oxford Teaching Alliance for Quantitative Neuroscience (BOTAQN) is holding its first meeting in Berlin, on March 28 - 29, 2019.

In addition to two keynote lectures, attendees will have the chance to present their own work. The goal of our meeting is to encourage uninhibited and detailed exchange between young researchers in Oxford and Berlin, a better understanding of the possible interplay of experiment and theory, and hopefully a stronger sense of community between Berlin and Oxford.
