Dear all,

We are inviting contributions to the conference, including talks, "posters" and workshops on specific topics. We are looking forward to your contributions! Due to unrelated organizational circumstances we decided to *extend the abstract submission deadline* for the NEST Conference 2025 *to 30 April*.

The NEST Conference provides an opportunity for the NEST Community to meet, exchange success stories, swap advice, learn about current developments in and around NEST spiking network simulation and its application. Take the opportunity to advance your skills in using NEST at our hands-on workshops!

This year's conference will again take place as a *virtual conference* on Tuesday/Wednesday *17/**18 June 2025*.

We are delighted to welcome
