Dear NEST colleagues,

We like to inform you all about an event of the Human Brain Project, that will take place in Heidelberg on November 25-28. It will be comprised of introductory sessions on different types of infrastructure that is being built for the neuroscience community. Among these will be several NEST related sessions which may be of interest to you (see attached file).

This is a combined event with a CodeJam and infrastructure trainings, which will take place in close space-time proximity:

• 25 Nov: [Public event] EBRAINS - New enabling infrastructure for neuroscience
• 26 Nov: How to increase the FAIRness of your research - an HBP training course about data sharing
• 26-28 Nov: 2nd HPAC Platform Training
• 26-28 Nov: CodeJam#10

The 2nd HPAC Platform Training will introduce the tools and services of the High-Performance Analysis and Computing Platform and Fenix, including an interactive session on how to apply for those resources. There will also be several sessions about the simulators with different resolutions being (co)developed in the HBP (Arbor, NEST and TVB). 

More info and registration can be found here: https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/education/participatecollaborate/infrastructure-events-trainings/

The registration is already open but requires an account to register. If you would like join the event please send an email to Maren Frings <m.frings@fz-juelich.de> so we can create a guest account for you. Then you can register e.g. for the HPAC Training. The events will have joint breaks and it will be possible to switch to another event for the one or the other session. You need to register only for the event you are most interested in.

It would be great to see you there! :-)

Best regards,
Dennis & Maren
