Call for Satellite Event Proposals

Submissions of Satellite Events are Open
Submission Deadline: Thursday, April 10, 2025

The AD de Groot Center at the University of Amsterdam, in collaboration with CCN, invites proposals for satellite events to be held on Monday, August 11, 2025. These events should complement the main CCN 2025 conference program. Participants of the satellite must, in principle, be attendees of CCN*. Satellite events can run from 11:30-18:00 (6 hour) or from 11:30-14:30 or 15:00-18:00.

Event Types & Scope

We welcome proposals for workshops, tutorials, and special sessions that align with cognitive computational neuroscience or closely related fields. Satellite events are particularly suitable for:

  • Programs requiring extended time beyond the standard 45-90 minute community event format
  • Specialized topics expecting focused attention

Venue Information

  • Location: University of Amsterdam, REC-A & REC-B buildings (main CCN 2025 conference venue)
  • Available room capacities: 20-150 participants
  • Date: Monday, August 11, 2025
