The NEST Initiative is excited to invite everyone interested in Neural Simulation Technology and the NEST Simulator to the virtual NEST Conference 2021. 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.
The virtual NEST Conference 2021
Due to the current restrictions on events and travel, the NEST Conference 2021 will be held as a virtual conference on
Monday/Tuesday 28/29 June
followed by a virtual NEST Hackathon until Friday 2 July.
Registration is open until June 21!
Please register via the registration form provided at the bottom of this page.
The registration fee for NEST Initiative members is 20 CHF and for non-members 50 CHF. Note that you can profit from the reduced fee by becoming a NEST Initiative member before May 16! See https://www.nest-initiative.org/membership/ for details.
Call for Contributions has been closed.
