General information
3rd HBP Student Conference on Interdisciplinary Brain Research
6-7 February 2019
Ghent, Belgium

The human brain is such a complex system that it can only be understood by combining knowledge and practices from multiple scientific fields. The 3rd HBP Student Conference provided an open forum for the exchange of new ideas among young researchers working across various aspects of science relevant to the Human Brain Project (HBP). The conference offered a space for extensive scientific dialogue, both intra- and interdisciplinary, among peers and faculty through a variety of discussion sessions, lectures and social events.
Call for submissions [closed]
We invite original high-quality submissions describing innovative research in all disciplines addressed in the HBP. These contributions can emphasise theoretical or empirical works relating to a wide spectrum of fields including but not limited to: neuroscience, computer science, robotics, medicine, psychology, cognitive science or philosophy. We particularly encourage submissions with a potential to inspire collaboration in the research community by introducing new and relevant problems, concepts, and ideas, even if the work is at an early stage of development.
Participation in the 3rd HBP Student Conference was open to the entire student community and early career researchers, regardless of whether they are affiliated with the HBP or not and regardless of whether they made a submission to the scientific programme or not. All young scientists twere encouraged to register and it was aimed to achieve equal representation of all sexes.
