OSB Kick off meeting, Sardinia, 13-15 May 2013#
Dates: 9am Monday 13th - 5pm Wednesday 15th May, 2013
Location: Hotel Calabona, Alghero, Sardinia
Local organisers: Sergio Solinas), Irene Solinas Organising committee: Matteo Cantarelli), Sharon Crook, Padraig Gleeson, Eugenio Piasini, Angus Silver
Focus of meeting#
The focus of this meeting was on cerebellar cell & network models.
See the slides below from a number of the presenters, or see a blog post from the OpenWorm project on the meeting.
One specific outcome of the meeting was the setting up of a project to try to create a community developed model (or models) of the cerebellar granule cell.
