Bernstein Coordination Site

The Bernstein Coordination Site (BCOS) is the central point of contact for information and questions about the Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience. It supports the scientists of the Bernstein Network in their joint activities and serves as a link between the network partners.

The Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience connects the scientific community in the field of computational neuroscience across Germany and beyond. With the Bernstein Conference, one of most reputable international conferences in this field, the network has created a renowned platform for scientific exchange.

The Bernstein Network was founded in 2004 through a funding initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). It extends across Germany and includes numerous international members worldwide.

Since September 2015, the Bernstein Coordination Site is a branch office of Forschungszentrum Jülich. The coordination site is located on the premises of the Bernstein Center Freiburg at the University of Freiburg.
