NeuroMod Institute

NeuroMod is an interdisciplinary institute of Université Côte d’Azur on Modeling for Neuroscience and Cognition. It aims at promoting modeling as an approach for integrating brain mechanisms and cognitive functions. To meet this central challenge, the institute relies on the interdisciplinary resources available within Université Côte d’Azur: more than 250 researchers and 16 different laboratories and research entities.

The NeuroMod Institute open day event will present its Masters of Science as well as the diversity of the researches in the Institute. It also represents a good opportunity to discover our labs for internships or PhD thesis.

Students will learn about:

• The possibilities to do research on the topics of modelling for neuroscience and cognition at Université Côte d’Azur
• Testimonies of our alumni students and researchers and active discussions about
• “What are the challenges of a PhD thesis?”
• “What are the challenges for a foreign student to settle in Nice / France?”
• “What are the job opportunities in the private sector?”
• “Interdisciplinarity seems awesome but does that mean I need to be good in all fields to do it ?”
