Abstract (English)

WE WILL CREATE A THEMATIC NETWORK ON COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE AND NEUROINFORMATICS IN EUROPE. THIS THEMATIC NETWORK WILL LINK TOGETHER MAJOR COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE AND NEUROINFORMATICS RESEARCH CENTERS IN EUROPE. WITHIN THE THREE YEARS PROPOSED IN THIS APPLICATION THE THEMATIC NETWORK WILL PROMOTE THE GROWTH OF A TRUE NEUROINFORMATICS COMMUNITY IN EUROPE AS A FIRST STEP TOWARDS BUILDING AN NEUROINFORMATICS CAPACITY, WHICH CAN COMPETE INTERNATIONALLY. THE NETWORK WILL ORGANIZE SIX SCIENTIFIC WORKSHOPS AND YEARLY WORKSHOPS BRINGING TOGETHER THE COORDINATORS OF EC-FUNDED NEUROINFORMATICS RTD PROJECTS. IT WILL START A FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM FOR SHORT LAB VISITS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TRAINING TO YOUNG SCIENTISTS AND CREATE EUROPEAN NEUROINFORMATICS WEB-SITE LISTING EUROPEAN NEUROINFORMATICS RESEARCH CENTERS, ACTIVITIES, SOFTWARE TOOLS, AND DATABASES.
