10th Neuroinformatics Workshop INCF and Neuroinformatics in the Netherlands
ZonMw Building, Den Haag
The 10th workshop was very successful and enthusiastically attended by about 44 participants. The morning lectures focussed on INCF activities as workshops and programs, and the progress made in task forces. The lectures illustrated the significant contribution of Dutch researchers in these activities. The afternoon was dedicated to young researchers who demonstrated their great enthusiams for neuroinformatics research challenges. Finally, Prof. Paul Tiesinga shared his vision on the future of neuroinformatics in the Netherlands, which lecture was followed by a plenary discussion. There was great support for the idea of regular work meetings, prepared by local organizers at various locations in the country. Many participants agreed to act as local organizers of such meetings. It was in particular much appreciated that our colleagues from the Belgian INCF node (Dr. Yann Le Franc, University of Antwerp) expressed their interest in participating in this rotational meeting schedule.

Launch of the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility

June 27, 2005 - NL
"Hierbij het positieve bericht van de voorzitter van de OECD working groep on Neuroinformatics Sten Grillner dat het aantal benodigde deelnemers voor de start van het International Neuroinformatics Coordination Facility (INCF) ruim is bereikt. Getekend hebben: Zwitserland, Finland, Tsjechië, Noorwegen, Zweden, Duitsland en de VS. Japan en Australië hebben ondertekening aangekondigd.
Daarmee gaat de voorbereiding van het INCF - zoals gepland - vanaf 1 juli a.s. van start. De eerste activiteit van de Governing Board (de vertegenwoordigers van de landen die hebben getekend) zal het uitschrijven van een oproep zijn aan de deelnemende landen om het INCF te huisvesten.

Het tweede positieve bericht is dat de Europese Commissie op de workshop "Future of Neuroinformatics in Europe" op 9 juni j.l in Brussel de Europese landen heeft gesteund in het verwerven van het INCF (mogelijk als artikel 171 activiteit van de EU) en de Europese research councils heeft opgeroepen om een Specifiek Support Action voor een ERA-net voor te bereiden. Hubert Misslisch van het Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) heeft deze handschoen opgepakt.

We hopen nu op een spoedig bericht dat ook Nederland zal deelnemen aan het INCF en de voorbereiding van het OECD-Global Science Forum Programme on Neuroinformatics."

3rd Neuroinformatics Workshop - Challenges for the Netherlands
ZonMw Building, Den Haag
The successful workshop was attended by about 50 participants from the neurosciences (60%), computer sciences (30%) and officials from OCW, ZonMw, EW-NWO and ALW-NWO. Neuroinformatics opportunities were discussed for the Netherlands, in the area of data sharing, data integration and analysis, and computational modeling. Introductions were presented on behalf of ZonMw (Dr. Beem), OCW (Dr. Broesterhuizen) and the Neuroinformatics Steering Committee (Dr. Van Pelt). The main body of the workshop consisted of 14 scientific presentations including 2 tele-presentations from Edinburgh, UK. Prof. Siebes (computer sciences and steering group member) finished the workshop with a summary presentation.
