students to share thoughts and research results, as well as to develop a
sense of community that will lead to future cooperation. Contact with
people who work in the same field but have a different background is a
powerful catalyst for one’s intellectual development. Our philosophy is
that the earlier it happens, the better it is for the student.

| FENS-IBRO Training Center: Advanced Course in Computational Neuroscience |
| 7/30/2012
-> 8/24/2012 |
Bedlewo, Poland. A very important aspect of the ACCN is that the students develop into a
cohesive, tight-knit group, and so provide support, networking and
scientific advice to each other long after the course is over. These
bonds are extremely important for building successful scientific
careers, and so we make every effort to ensure that they are formed
early and strengthened throughout the course.
