SUMMARY:1st HBP Curriculum workshop series\, 21 June - 19 July 2017
DESCRIPTION:  \nFrom 21 June – 19 July\, the Education Program Office of the Human Brain Project will organize its 1st HBP Curriculum workshop series. The HBP Education Programme offers various transdisciplinary educational opportunities\, including workshops\, advanced schools as well as an annual student conference. Please check this page regularly for programme news and updates\, as well as further information about the HBP Education Programme. \nThe first workshop of the HBP series will be held from 21-23 June 2017 at The European Institute for Theoretical Neuroscience (EITN) in Paris\, France: \n1) ICT for non-specialists\nWorking on the frontiers between neuroscience and ICT\, or medicine and ICT requires basic knowledge in the field of computer science. This workshop complements the online course ICT for non-specialists and provides practical insights into ICT research for young investigators interested in the subject without an ICT background\, who require some basics for their research. Lectures and seminars will be accompanied by practical work and open discussion rounds. Experts in various areas of ICT will be available on site. \nWorkshop Structure:  Lectures > Seminars > Practical work > Discussion sessions > Social event \nFor more information click here. \nFrom 3-7 July 2017\, two workshops will take place in Innsbruck\, Austria: \n2) Understanding the brain: Neurobiology for non-specialists\nTaking place from 3-5 July 2017\, at the Medical University Innsbruck\, Austria\, the aim of this interactive workshop is to provide practical insights into basic and translational neuroscience research for interested non-specialists. The topics addressed range from essential neuroanatomy and neurophysiology\, over IPS cells\, to networks and behaviour. Plasticity and modulation of networks and signal transmission under physiological (like learning and memory) and pathological situations (like addiction\, epilepsy or neurodegeneration) will form an essential part. \nWorkshop Structure: Lectures > Discussion sessions > Hands-on tutorials > Lab visits > Social event \nLectures and tutorials will be accompanied by lab visits\, practical work and an open discussion round. Experts in functional neuroanatomy\, neurobiochemistry\, neuropharmacology and psychiatry from Medical University Innsbruck (Austria)\, the Allen Institute for Brain Science (USA) and the Human Brain Project (HBP) will be available on site. \nFor more information click here. \n3)  New horizons in clinical neuroscience: Brain medicine for non-specialists\nTaking place from 5-7 July 2017\, at the Medical University Innsbruck\, Austria\, the aim of this interactive workshop is to deepen and complete the online course on brain medicine for non-specialists with the most recent advances in research of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Lectures and tutorials by international experts will report the state of the art of research and treatment of brain diseases. Representatives of the Allen Institute for Brain Science (AI\, USA) and the Human Brain Project (HBP\, Europe) will present novel avenues for exploiting large biological data sets for future classification of brain diseases\, which may lead to new strategies for developing therapeutics. \nWorkshop Structure: Lectures > Discussion sessions > Hands-on tutorials > Social event. \nHands-on examples for using the tools developed by the Allen Institute and the HBP will be made available. \nFor more information click here. \nFrom 10-12 July 2017\, the Education Program Office of the Human Brain Project will organise a further Curriculum workshop on Research\, ethics and societal impact under the title: \n4) Responsible research: How to deal with animals and ICT in science – an ethical approach\nTaking place from 10-12 July 2017 at the Karolinska Institutet\, Stockholm\, Sweden\, this Workshop aims to provide the participants with insights on ethical aspects of the use of ICT and animals in science and research. Designated discussion rounds will provide the possibility for participants to interact with faculty and deepen the understanding of the topics addressed. \nWorkshop Structure: Lectures > Discussion sessions > Team based learning – group works > Lab visits > Social event \nFor more information click here. \nFrom 17-19 July 2017\, the final workshop will be held at Villa Toskana in Leimen\, Germany\, titled: \n5) Intellectual property rights\, translation and exploitation of research: Entrepreneurship in Neuroscience\nThis “hackathon” style workshop completes and complements the online course on Intellectual Property Rights\, Translation and Exploitation of Research. Students will work in small groups around joint applied research ideas in Neuroscience that the students will offer and conceive by themselves. The participants will study how to advance their ideas from the lab to market\, understand the needs\, the target population\, patentability options and how to build a business model. Finally they will present their ideas to industry and academy experts. The workshop is a hands on unique experience of diving into the entrepreneurial world\, learning how to advance the science into the next step… \nWorkshop Structure: Lectures > Mini-Workshops > Group presentations > Discussion sessions > Lab visit > Social event \nFor more information click here. \n  \nApplication for the workshops:\nThis workshops are open to the whole student community and early post-docs upon application. Applications from young female investigators are highly encouraged. Application is required as space may be limited. Applicants selected for participation will be informed within two weeks after the application deadline. There is no registration fee. Seven travel grants will be available upon request (European students only). Accommodation can be provided for 30 students (first come\, first served). Note: The workshop is a supplement to the online course ‘HBP Curriculum – Research\, ethics and societal impact‘. It is recommended for workshop participants to attend the online course as a basis for the workshop. During the workshop\, participants will have the possibility of taking an exam about the content of the HBP online course ‘HBP Curriculum – Research\, ethics and societal impact‘. Application deadline: 1 June 2017 \n

SUMMARY:Value of Treatment Celebration Dinner\, 21st June\, and "Brain: Time Matters" 22nd June 2017 - European Brain Council Final Conference on the Value of Treatment for Brain Disorders research project
DESCRIPTION:The European Brain Council marks the Value of Treatment for Brain Disorders research project with a Celebration dinner on Wednesday 21st June 2017\, starting with a welcome drink at 6.30 pm. \nThe EBC Final Conference on the Value of Treatment for Brain Disorders research project will take place on Thursday 22 June 2017 at 10:00 am\, followed by a reception at 17:15 pm\, held under the auspices of the Maltese EU Presidency. \nThe Celebration dinner and conference will take place at The Square Meeting Centre\, 3 Coudenberg\, 1000 Brussels. \nYou are warmly invited. Please register to attend through the form included below.\n\nThe Conference will focus on 1) addressing the burden of diseases and issues in the current health care system\, the health services delivery and care pathways design and 2) proposing evidence-based and cost-effective solutions to achieve high value for patients. \nEBC will release research conclusions and will launch a Policy White Paper.  The White Paper recommendations will highlight unmet needs\, new research developments\, benefits of seamless care\, and will build on key results from case studies and consultations with experts. \nBrain disorders are highly prevalent and disabling conditions: neuropsychiatric disorders will affect at least one in three European citizens during their lifetime (an estimated 38.2% of the EU population annually). When the brain is damaged\, it can affect different functions of the human body and can lead to disorders impacting both individuals and society. \nThis conference brings together high level representatives of Ministries of Health and Social Affairs\, the European Commission\, WHO\, OECD and other key international institutions\, as well as international experts who are at the forefront of shaping health policy. This includes keynote speeches from Martin Seychell (Deputy Director-General\, Directorate General for Health and Food Safety\, European Commission) and Dr. Line Matthiessen\, Acting Director\, Health Directorate\, Directorate General for Research & Innovation\, European Commission). The full agenda and registration follows below: \nThe latest Discussion Paper on the VoT Project can be read HERE. \n  \nPlease register for the dinner and the conference by filling in the form below. \n[contact-form-7 404 "Not Found"]
