The Georgetown-TUM Neuroengineering Summer School is a yearly event co-organized by our teams at the Center for Neuroengineering at Georgetown University and the Center of Competence in Neuroengineering at TUM. This year’s Neuroengineering Summer School will focus on “Neuroengineering for Brain Health and Rehabilitation”. Registration for this year’s Georgetown-TUM Neuroengineering Summer School is officially open!
Neuroengineering is an emerging interdisciplinary field that aims to translate findings in neuroscience to real-world practical engineering applications to improve the quality of life of people with neurological and sensorimotor disabilities. Examples are neuroprostheses for amputees, deep brain stimulation for persons with Parkinson’s disease, and electrophysiological neurofeedback for patients with disorders of mental health. Neuroscientists are gaining new insights into how the brain functions based on these advanced neuroengineering techniques and are working to educate the new generation of human-centered neuroengineers.
To maximize the benefit of neurotechnologies for patients and society at large, the Neuroengineering Summer School aims to train a new generation of neuroengineers in this interdisciplinary integration of neuroscience, engineering, and neuroethics. This is an excellent opportunity for students to be exposed to new fields, such as robotics for rehabilitation, and for them to develop new collaborations with faculty at the Technical University of Munich and Georgetown University.
The fourth annual Neuroengineering Summer School will take place June 8th-11th in Munich. Participation is free and we encourage all interested individuals to apply.
During the 4-day event, you will enjoy a varied range of keynotes from distinguished international speakers highlighting the impact of neuroengineering approaches on functional recovery, rehabilitation, and brain health. The Summer School chairs include Prof. Dr. Gordon Cheng (TUM), Prof. Dr. Josef Rauschecker (Georgetown University), and Prof. Dr. Max Riesenhuber (Georgetown University). A full agenda of speakers can be found on the Neuroengineering Summer School website.
Additionally, there will be a variety of workshops that will allow you to gain hands-on experience in different neuroengineering topics and a poster session, in which you will be able to showcase your recent research. Stay tuned for an announcement of the workshop topics for this summer.
To complete your registration and find more information on the 2026 Summer School, please visit the Neuroengineering Summer School website. Registration is currently open and can be completed through a Google Form under the registration tab on the site. Participation in the Neuroengineering Summer School is free and we encourage all interested individuals to apply.
