The Georgetown-TUM Summer Schools in Neuroengineering started in 2023 with the first summer school at Georgetown, followed by the “TUM-GU Summer School in Neuroengineering” at the Technical University of Munich, Germany in 2024. This year’s edition is back at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. The theme is “Neuroengineering for Restoration to Function”, highlighting ways in which neuroengineering approaches can aid in restoring function after injury- or disease-related impairment.
After the great response to the pre-summer school workshops in Munich last year, this summer school for the first time includes a number of workshops as part of the summer school program. Summer school participants will work in small groups and gain hands-on experience in solving neuroengineering-related problems. In addition, as in previous years, there will be a range of talks from speakers in the CNE alliance (GU, TUM, Lawrence Livermore National Labs), discussion panels (on “the future of neuroengineering in the clinic” and “neuroethics”), as well as social activities. Get ready for an exciting week!
Applications using the online form are due April 1. Cost is $100 and scholarships can be provided. Breakfasts and lunches are included. Participants are responsible for travel to DC as well as housing (note that we have reserved housing in on-campus dorms, ~$50/night)
