The NEST Initiative is excited to invite everyone interested in Neural Simulation Technology and the NEST Simulator to the virtual NEST Conference 2022. 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 virtual NEST Conference 2022
The NEST Conference 2022 will again be held as a virtual event on
Thursday/Friday 23/24 June
Registration and Call for Contributions is closed.
