Registration for Brainhack Ghent 2018 is NOW open!
!! REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 1st of May - EXTENDED till 5th of MAY, 12pm !!
On 7-8th May 2018, the second edition of Brainhack Ghent will take place as part of the Brainhack Global event. During this two-day event dedicated to students and PhD students, we will work in teams on neuroscience-related projects.
The aim of the event is to collaborate on projects, meet new researchers, make new friendships in academia, learn, share the knowledge on data mining and brain research, but also promote open science in the spirit of the whole Brainhack community (Craddock et al., 2016). Attendees of various backgrounds are welcome to join!
By submitting your research project or contacting us about a tutorial you can gain a priceless leadership experience as you will work with and manage a group of researchers at our two-day event.
Please send all related questions to the mailing address: brainhackghent2018@gmail.com
Also, please team up with us! Join our slack #bhg-ghent2018 channel Brainhack Slack for updated information on the developing Hackathon content and to contribute your own ideas.
Preliminary schedule
IMPORTANT:
On both days the main ‘Brain Hacking’ room will be LESZAAL 2.1 (2nd floor; FPPW).
Please gather there for the Welcome talk on the first day of the Brainhack event (Monday, 7th May 2018).
