Advancing Computational Neuroscience: EBRAINS Germany at the Bernstein Conference 2024

EBRAINS was present at the Bernstein Conference 2024, held from 29 September to 2 October in Frankfurt, Germany. Organised by the Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, the conference is recognised as a leading event in the field of computational neuroscience, attracting students, postdocs and PIs from around the world.

The conference featured a diverse programme, including satellite workshops, poster sessions, talks, and a dedicated postdoc meeting, which offered the participants several opportunities for networking and exchanging knowledge.

At the EBRAINS Germany booth, visitors had the opportunity to learn about the wide range of resources offered by the EBRAINS research infrastructure, including e.g., simulation technologies such as NEST and the neuromorphic computing system BrainScaleS-2.

EBRAINS Germany informed scientists about the German node of the European brain research network and how the EBRAINS research infrastructure accelerates innovative brain research in Germany and Europe.

Several posters featuring research powered by EBRAINS were also present during the poster sessions, further showcasing the infrastructure’s contributions to advancements in neuroscience.

EBRAINS Germany is the German National Node of the EBRAINS research infrastructure. It currently has nine members, including Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience. Its partners offer unique open science tools for neuroscience, medical applications, and industry.

The Node is open for new members, who can actively shape the future development of EBRAINS services according to the specific needs of the German research communities.
