Dear BIRC Community,
Many neuroscience conferences this year have moved to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic making them far more accessible while decreasing registration costs. Please see a collection of relevant events below. We hope that you are able to take advantage of these resources.
- World Wide Neuro
- Seminars on a wide range of Neuroscience topics, 3-5 times a week
- Additional information
- XhM Foundation Neuroscience for Kosovo
- May 12th, 2020
- $10 registration fee
- Additional information
- NeuroData Without Borders Hackathon
- May 12th-15th, 2020
- Free Registration
- “In contrast to conferences, where the primary focus is to report results, the objective of the Hackathon is to provide a venue for NWB users and tool developers to learn about NWB and collaboratively work on any NWB-related research projects. This event is meant to foster community and collaboration around NWB, not competition.”

- Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS)
- June 21-23
- Registration: free
- Likely it will involve some combination of content communicated via video (e.g., pre-recorded workshops) and other content that involves interactive video-conferencing (e.g., live hackathons). We will let you know more as this planning takes form, and are excited to see how this new meeting takes shape in the hands of both the SIPS leadership and the SIPS community.
