CNS*2022: Call for Tutorials

Tutorial proposal submission instructions for CNS*2022

Tutorials are intended as introductions to the main methodologies of various fields in computational neuroscience. Tutorials are particularly tailored for early-stage researchers as well as researchers entering a new field in computational neuroscience.

CNS*2022 Tutorials will take place on the first day of the meeting, 16 July 2022, with a typical total attendance of ca. 100 participants allowing for four concurrent sessions during the day.

Three different formats are available:

  • Introductory FULL DAY courses 
  • Specialized HALF DAY tutorials 
  • 30 MINUTES software showcase 

As approved by the OCNS Board on July 13, 2019, accepted tutorials are eligible to receive a maximum of one tutorial registration waiver for an organizer, and exceptionally an additional tutorial registration waiver depending on the length of the tutorial. Software showcase sessions do not receive any funding, travel award, or free registration.

The proposal should be submitted as a Word or pdf file and MUST include the following sections:

  1.     Tutorial title
  2.     Organizers (list primary organizer first; include affiliations and emails)
  3.     Tutorial format (full-day, half-day, showcase)
  4.     Brief Description (max. 300 words; include links to relevant software)

 

 Please refer to tutorials from the past meeting for examples. Showcases will be combined into one continuous afternoon program.

DEADLINE: Tutorial proposals should be submitted before April 15, 2022.

Registration: Tutorial registration will occur through the OCNS registration website for CNS*2022. All tutorial participants, including speakers, must register. Each tutorial is eligible to receive tutorial registration waivers for max. 1-2 speakers (depending on the length of the tutorial).
