A delegation of our lab participated in the third autumn school of our DAAD-funded international PhD-program, taking part Sept. 19th-24th at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (HWK) in Delmenhorst. Doctoral fellows and their supervisors from Bochum, Izmir (Turkey) and Padua (Italy) came together for talks, vivid scientific discussions and poster sessions on both individual research projects and more general neuroscientific topics. Renowned scientists Josep Call from the MPI Leipzig, Germany, and Isabelle George from the CRNS in Rennes, France, completed the event as invited speakers.The doctoral fellows ran a competition for the best presentation and the best poster. For our lab, the autumn school was a success all down the line: We brought home all prizes. The picture below shows Sebastian Ocklenburg, the winner of the presentation prize, Felix Ströckens and Nils Kasties as winners of the poster prize, together with the organizational team, during the award ceremony.
