In this colloquium, speakers will present their research in various areas of spatial navigation, including behavioral, neuroscientific, and theoretical approaches. The goal is to foster interdisciplinary discussions along the lines of the review article "A Map of Spatial Navigation for Neuroscience" (Parra-Barrero et al., 2023) that proposes a taxonomy of spatial navigation processes in mammals. The talks will cover a diverse range of topics, from the neural underpinnings of navigation to complex navigation behaviors. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how the mammalian brain represents and navigates through space, as well as learn about several cognitive processes such as learning and memory through the lens of spatial navigation.

The BCCN Berlin will hold an information day regarding the Master- and PhD-Programs in Computational Neuroscience offered by the center.

Das Bernstein Center Freiburg und die Fakultät für Biologie laden erneut zu spannenden Fragen, kreativen Ansätzen und praxisbezogenen Methoden rund um das Thema Neurowissenschaften ein. Herausragende Neurowissenschaftlerinnen und -wissenschaftler aus ganz Deutschland werden aus Sicht ihrer Disziplin anschaulich und verständlich über ihre Forschung berichten.
Angesprochen wird ein Publikum mit Interesse an den aktuellen Themen der Hirnforschung. Nach einem etwa 40-minütigen Vortrag gibt es Gelegenheit zur Diskussion. Der Eintritt ist frei.

The 14th Winter School "Ethics of Neuroscience and AI" is taking place on Feb 24 - Feb 28, 2025. It is organized by the BCCN Berlin/ICCN, the Berlin School of Mind and Brain, and the Excellence Cluster "Science of Intelligence". The event is tailored for MSc and PhD students, but covers a range of topics of potential interest to other researchers, reflecting on the ethical and societal consequences of modern neuroscience.

EBRAINS is an open research infrastructure that gathers data, tools and computing facilities for brain-related research, built with interoperability at the core. The EBRAINS tutorials and users day is for two audiences: newcomers to the EBRAINS Research Infrastructure (introductions, overviews, beginner hands-on tutorials) and seasoned EBRAINS users for advanced tutorials and user discussion groups with developers.

The event offers:

- Quick demonstration of a sample set of "EBRAINS science tools in action" in the morning plenary talks (this part of the event can also be attended online free of charge)
- Followed by parallel hands-on tutorials: meeting participants can attend 3 consecutive sessions and choose for each from a set of in parallel tutorials. This part is onsite only for most tutorials.

The Göttingen Meeting 2025 continues and supports what was always the aim of the original Neurobiology Meeting over 40 years ago: to give (young) scientists the space they need to learn from the work of their colleagues from all disciplines and to grow with their own presentations in symposia and poster sessions.

The annual Cosyne meeting provides an inclusive forum for the exchange of empirical and theoretical approaches to problems in systems neuroscience, in order to understand how neural systems function. The Main Meeting is single-track. A set of invited talks is selected by the Executive Committee, and additional talks and posters are selected by the Program Committee, based on submitted abstracts. The Workshops feature in-depth discussion of current topics of interest, in a small group setting.

Episodic memories are widely regarded as memories of personally experienced events. Early concepts about episodic memory were based on the storage model, according to which experiential content is preserved in memory and later retrieved. However, overwhelming empirical evidence suggests that the content of episodic memory is – at least to a certain degree – constructed in the act of remembering. Even though very few contemporary researchers would oppose this view of episodic memory as a generative process, it has not become the standard paradigm of empirical memory research. This is particularly true for studies of the neural correlates of episodic memory. Further hindering progress are large conceptual differences regarding episodic memory across different fields, such as neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. This interdisciplinary conference therefore aims to bring together researchers from all relevant fields to advance the state of the art in the research on generative episodic memory.

The NEST Initiative is excited to invite everyone interested in Neural Simulation Technology and the NEST Simulator to the virtual NEST Conference 2025. 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. We particularly encourage young scientists to participate in the conference!

The International Conference on Mathematical Neuroscience (ICMNS) is an inter-disciplinary conference series, bringing together theoretical/computational neuroscientists and mathematicians. The conferences are aimed at scientists interested in using or developing mathematical techniques for neuroscience problems. ICMNS 2025 will be the tenth annual conference.

Each year the Bernstein Network invites the international computational neuroscience community to the annual Bernstein Conference for intensive scientific exchange. It has established itself as one of the most renowned conferences worldwide in this field, attracting students, postdocs and PIs from around the world to meet and discuss new scientific discoveries.
