Summer School Brain Innovation Generation @ UCA

Big@UCA

The summer school will last 6 full days. Each day, invited lecturers will deliver inspiring lectures in the morning, followed by extensive group discussions. The discussion will continue during the lunch break, organized on place, and in the afternoon participants will be divided in small groups, and asked to work to the development of new ideas, focusing on the topic of the day. Personal coaching and moments of individual work will also be organized in the afternoon.

The main course topics, adapted from the Stanford Biodesign course, are the following:
