Workshop

INCF and Neuroinformatics in the Netherlands

ZonMw Building, Den Haag, Friday, March 19, 2010

The objectives of this workshop are (1) to highlight Dutch participation in the International INCF Neuroinformatics program, (2) to be a forum for young neuroinformatics researchers in the Netherlands, and (3) to discuss the future of the NL National Node.
