EMEA WORKSHOP
Partnering Universities:
Imperial College London (2018 Host);
Tel Aviv University; University College Dublin; Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
Sponsored by: Broadcom Foundation
Four universities from the UK, Israel, Ireland and India are partnering to create this 4- day exciting workshop on brain machine interfaces and brain inspired technologies and computing. The workshop brings together seven top graduate students from each of the universities to explore rapidly advancing cross-disciplinary inquiries into how “to engineer the brain.” The workshop will focus on emerging integrated research between engineering, neuroscience and computer science aiming to build long-term collaborations between the students. Students will work in interdisciplinary teams to design new collaborative projects, projects will be presented in front of a distinguished jury of experts and a winning project will be chosen. The workshop will also include tours around the UK and some social events.
