2nd EMBRACE Summer School
The 2nd EMBRACE Summer School “Neuroimaging beyond the individual – Monitoring interacting human brains” was organized by partner TUIL in Leipzig (Germany) together with the 10th International Summer School in Biomedical Engineering from 28 to 31 of August, 2023.
The school was open to researchers external to the EMBRACE consortium, from both academia and industry, and was organized in hybrid mode, so that also researchers who could not attend the school on site could follow the lectures and courses.
A total of 50 researchers and professors from universities and companies in Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Netherlands, UK, USA, Algeria and India attended the school, of which 19 researchers attended the school online.
The flyer and the detailed program of the school, as well as a couple of pictures of the researchers attending the school on site are included in the following pages.
