CIDBN’s first Bio Hike to the experimental botanic garden (June 23, 2022)
Time flies and it is June already…This means, it is time to make good on our promise: CIDBN finally goes outdoors!
As announced in our last newsletter, we would like to explore the experimental botanic garden at North Campus together with you. However, not everyone of us will know details about the numerous flowers and other plants and the how and why they are cultivated here. … Continued
Upcoming CIDBN related Events
SPP 2205: FENS satellite symposium “Understanding Neural Circuit Evolution”, Paris and online (July 7-8, 2022; deadline for registration: June 23, 2022)
The FENS satellite symposium “Understanding Neural Circuit Evolution” will present exciting lines of research into neural circuit evolution from paleobiology to computational neuroscience and to the molecular and genetic generation of neuro-behavioral diversity. Organized by the German Research Foundation Priority Program “Evolutionary Optimization of Neuronal Processing”, the symposium is designed to make the full spectrum of progress in neural circuit evolution accessible to a wide neuroscience audience. … Continued
CIDBN at the Night of Science (July 9, 2022)
On Saturday July 9, 2022, the 5th Night of Science will take place in Göttingen. CIDBN will present their pioneering research at four booths on the on the central campus (ZHG, 1st floor) to the public. We offer hands-on activities and show experiments and demonstrations to give insight into the research area Cognition and Behavior. … Continued
SPP 2205: DZG Satellite Event: 6th Meeting of the ANN “Evolution of the Arthropod Brain – From Development to Structure”, Bonn (Sep 12-13, 2022)
New methods from morphology and developmental genetics, among others, allow deeper insights into the evolution of the arthropod brain and support comparative behavioral studies. In the DZG, a lot of expertise is available in different groups, but the exchange could be stronger. We therefore want to bring together scientists working on the evolution of the arthropod brain from different perspectives. … Continued
SPP 2205: Bernstein Conference Satellite Workshop “Major Transitions in Cortical Circuit Evolution”, Berlin (Sep 13-14, 2022)
Neuronal circuits of the cerebral cortex underlie our abilities to perceive and recognize objects, form an internal model of dynamic environments, make decisions and plan and execute complex actions. Although these functions and abilities appear universal, the design even of simple sensory cortical circuits, surprisingly, was repeatedly disrupted by major evolutionary transformations. Recent work has uncovered that the ancestral state of primary visual cortex neither exhibited localized receptive fields nor retinotopic order (1) and that mammalian V1 underwent an all-or-nothing transition at the origin of primates (2). … Continued

HOUC: HLNR Open User Conference (July 4-5, 2022, Göttingen)
The HOUC offers two tracks, one track for “Research using HPC” and “HPC Methods”. Aside from these there also is ample opportunity for networking during breaks and social activities.
Share your approaches and accomplishments using HPC with the community! … Continued
PSCC: Proud and Strong in Computing Conference (July 5-6, 2022, Göttingen)
While many may think that we have come far in matters of anti-discrimination and diversity, the sad truth is: we have a long way to go. With this event we want to create a platform to increase the visibility of underrepresented groups in the field of super computing and discuss measures and opportunities to foster a welcoming atmosphere for everyone in our community. … Continued
The university’s EU office informs you on the ERC Starting Grant, online (July 21, 2022)
On July 21, 2022, the EU Office of the University of Göttingen will offer an online event on the ERC Starting Grant Call 2023 (tentative deadline: Oct 25, 2022). First, the EU Office will give a short presentation on the ERC Starting Grants. An ERC Grantee will be invited to the event in order to talk about own experiences and to provide hints for the application procedure. … Continued
