Topic

Neuromorphic Algorithms brings together experts from the scientific fields of neuromorphic computing, computational neuroscience, and robotics to discuss requirements, problems and solutions to realize successful algorithms advancing neuromorphic computing.

Dates and Venue

Despite the corona pandemic, we are striving for an in-person meeting. The venue is a resort in Volpriehausen nearby the university city Göttingen in the heart of Germany, that is easily accessible by train and flights. The workshop will take place September 6th to 8th.
