External Event - 11th to 13th Sep 2019
The British Neuroscience Association is proud to be supporting this event
The 7th Cambridge Neuroscience Symposium ‘Artificial and Biological Cognition’ is an international meeting, which will take place on September 12-13th 2019 at the West Road Concert Hall at the University of Cambridge.
#ABC2019 comprises seven sessions including ‘Reinforcement Learning’, ‘Navigation’, ‘Robotics’, ‘Communication’, ‘Vision’ ‘Mental Health’ and ‘Neuroethics of AI’. The programme features many distinguished national and international speakers. This is generally a very popular meeting, which attracts an international audience of up to 500 delegates.
In addition to all of the refreshment breaks there are additional fun opportunities to network at a drinks reception, followed by a Gala dinner, at Trinity College in the evening on September 12th 2019 (additional fee required); and a drinks reception following the close of the symposium on September 13th (included in registration).
#Marr2019: In addition, we are hosting a special satellite meeting to celebrate David Marr, one of the founding fathers of computational neuroscience, on the 50th anniversary of his thesis. This meeting requires an additional registration fee and places are limited to 180 delegates.
Come join us on Wednesday 11th September 2019 for ‘David Marr, 50 years on’.
Why Artificial Intelligence (AI)? And what does Cambridge have to offer?
Our researchers in a multitude of different disciplines are creating innovative applications of AI in diverse areas. Cambridge is unique in that brings mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers together, alongside basic, translational and clinical scientists. Cambridge philosophers and humanists are asking fundamental questions about the ethics, trust and humanity of AI system design. We are well placed both geographically and academically to lead the revolution that is happening in this exciting field, specifically in relation to neuroscience.
Who should attend?
Academics at all levels of their career working across neuroscience, engineering, mathematics and computer science. We particularly encourage early career researchers to attend and present their work at this unique event. To this end, we are offering heavily subsidised all-inclusive registration fees.
Industry professionals working across the neuroscience-technology-biomedical spectrum. Attending ABC2019 will provide the perfect opportunity for you to promote your organisation to a passionate audience of scientists across a wide range of disciplines. Furthermore, it will provide excellent networking opportunities allowing you to establish relationships with partners, potential employees and customers.
