Calls for Expression of Interest: Human Brain Project Education Programme - "HBP Workshops and HBP Schools for SGA2 phase"

Calls for Expression of Interest

Human Brain Project (HBP) Education Programme - "HBP Workshops and HBP Schools for SGA2 phase"

 

Objective and description


The HBP Education Programme Office launched two Calls for Expression of Interest (CEoI) to identify Scientific Directors to take over the scientific lead of HBP Education events in the next phase (SGA2), covering the period April 2018 to March 2020.

 

The Human Brain Project (HBP) is an ambitious 10-year research initiative, and part of the EU flagship program. The HBP is developing an innovative ICT infrastructure (the HBP Joint Platform), that will help neuroscientists and clinical researchers integrate data and knowledge about the brain across all levels of its spatial and temporal organisation. Using detailed digital representations, reconstructions, and simulations it aims to give tools to thousands of researchers to advance and accelerate our understanding of the functioning of the human brain and its diseases.

 

The HBP Education Programme is an interdisciplinary teaching programme offering innovative training formats for young researchers working in and between the fields of neuroscience, ICT, and medicine. The programme especially targets advanced master students, PhD students and early post-doctoral researchers. It currently comprises various formats:

·         HBP Curriculum: A combination of distance learning courses and complementary face-to-face workshops

·         HBP Schools: Advanced trainings that provide in-depth lectures and tutorials

·         HBP Student Conferences: A platform for collaboration and scientific exchange between young scientists

·         Young Researchers Events: Opportunity to learn about and use the Information & Communication Technology Infrastructure offered and developed by the HBP

·         HBP Lab Visits: Chance to gain practical experience and learn new methods at HBP partner labs

·         HBP Education Programme E-Library: Educational video material publicly available

 

1.       HBP Education Workshops 

 

HBP Education Workshops are short teaching formats of two to three days of length. The workshop themes are related to a specific online course on an advanced basic level considering the audience comes from different scientific backgrounds and different levels of education (Master, PhD, early post-docs). Proposals can be submitted for the following themes:

·         ICT/Computing for non-specialists

·         Neuroscience/Neurobiology for non-specialists

·         Brain medicine for non-specialists

·         Research, Ethics and Societal Impact

·         Intellectual Property Rights, Translation and Exploitation of Research

 

A workshop covering each theme will be held once a year which sums up to five workshops in 2018. The dates as well as the venue for the 2018 workshops are already fixed: 4-6 July 2018, Berlin, prior to the FENS Forum.

 

Through this Call for Expressions of Interest (CEoI), the HBP Education Programme will identify Scientific Directors (from within and outside the HBP) who are taking over the scientific lead of HBP Education Workshops. In total, five proposals will be selected for July 2018.

 

2.       HBP Schools 

 

HBP Schools are long teaching formats of five days’ length, which provide young researchers with in-depth teaching in certain research fields. These courses are open to the whole community, regardless of affiliation with the HBP, but especially target the following groups: Master students already carrying out research; PhD students; Researchers who have received their doctoral degree within the past 3 years at the time of their application for training.

 

HBP Schools should be lecture-based, with additional training for certain techniques (e.g. software) and soft skills at an appropriate venue.

 

A total of three HBP Schools is planned in the period 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2020. The first School has to be completed by December 2018, the second School by July 2019 and the third School by December 2019. By focusing on specific topics rather than themes, transdisciplinary education will be fostered and borders between research disciplines will break up. HBP Schools target at 40-50 participants per event.

 

Through this Call for Expressions of Interest (CEoI), the HBP Education Programme will identify Scientific Directors (from within and outside the HBP) who will assume the scientific lead of HBP Schools. 

 

Eligible applicants


The HBP Education Programme is inviting HBP and non-HBP scientists from the EU Member States or Horizon 2020 associated countries, to submit a proposal for HBP Workshops or HBP Schools and help educate a new generation of young scientists.
