The objective of the workshop is to strengthen the scientific links between neuroscientists in France and China by establishing long-term interdisciplinary collaborative research. The aim is to determine specific scientific questions in Neuroscience for which the complementarity of expertise and synergy between the two partners will lead to breakthrough that will not be possible otherwise. The visit will take place at Shanghai Jiao Tong University during the period June 9-June 14, 2014. Its format will be a four days’ workshop, during which scientists from the two countries will present their works, informal discussions on science as well as on issues related to training of students and postdocs. The research topics involve broad areas of experimental and computational neuroscience from molecular, cell to system level.
