Computational Approaches to Memory and Plasticity
We invite Ph.D. students, master’s students, final-year undergraduates, and postdocs worldwide from all backgrounds to CAMP@Pune. At this intensive 15-day course, students will be trained in theoretical and computational modeling of memory and plasticity in the brain, spanning different scales of space, time, and complexity. This year’s flavor of CAMP will be "Building a memory". The course will include lectures, hands-on tutorials, and projects geared towards providing a thorough introduction to the exciting and interdisciplinary field of computational neuroscience. Accommodation and meals will be covered for the participants.

Building a memory
From plasticity rules to network dynamics, this workshop focuses on computational frameworks that link molecular signaling to hippocampal function in episodic memory and spatial navigation.

About IISER Pune
The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Pune is one of seven IISERs located across the country. These institutes incorporate cutting-edge research in science and humanities into their teaching programs. We are situated in the city of Pune, which is steeped in history and culture. The city has witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties, the birth of the feminist movement in India, and significant events in the Indian freedom movement. Every nook and cranny of the old city still bears memories of the heroes and villains of history. We are approximately an hour’s drive from the fabled Western Ghats, a biodiversity hotspot, and a UNESCO world heritage site. The ghats will be colored rain-drenched green in July, a perfect time to explore.
