Eightteenth Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting CNS*2009
CNS 2009
July 18th ¨C 23rd 2009, Berlin, Germany
Local organizer: Dr. Udo Ernst (local-AT-cnsorg.org),
Dr. John-Dylan Haynes, Dr. Andreas Herz, and Dr. Klaus Obermayer

CNS 2009 will consist of three days of main meeting (Sunday-Tuesday) followed by two days of workshops (Wednesday-Thursday). Tutorials on various topics in Computational Neurosciences will be held on Saturday July 18th, prior to the main meeting. A welcome reception will be held on the evening of July 18th and the scientific program will start on July 19th in the morning.

The main meeting will be held in the Hilton hotel in central Berlin, overlooking the historic Gendarmenmarkt, in immediate vicinity of famous landmarks as e.g. the Brandenburg Gate, the Parliament, the Museum Island, and remnants of the Berlin Wall with the notorious border station "Checkpoint Charlie". Berlin is also home to several universities with a vivid student life. The city hosts a large neuroscientific community within its "Bernstein center for Computational Neuroscience" funded by the BMBF (the Ministry for Education and Research), which is also sponsoring the CNS*2009 meeting.

The workshops and tutorials will be held in the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences located on the opposite side of the Gendarmenmarkt. One main focus will be on Neuroinformatics, featuring a symposium sponsored by the INCF National Node of Germany.

On Monday evening, July 20th, you can enjoy a boat cruise along the river Spree through the heart of the city of Berlin, with places and buildings spanning four centuries from the baroque epoque to the ultra-modern governmental quarter, which was built after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The cruise will terminate at the Palace of Charlottenburg with its magnificent gardens, where dinner will be served in the former Orangerie. And why not have a short walk in the park, which will be open exclusively for the scientists attending CNS*2009?
