CWI highly values education. CWI researchers not only supervise and inspire the CWI PhD students, but also aim at contributing to teaching Master's students at universities. See the overview of CWI's current involvement in teaching courses in the Netherlands below.
CWI is a research institute and does not have education as an institutional task. However, many of the senior researchers of CWI contribute to education via an affiliation or part-time appointment at one of the Dutch universities.
The courses they teach are listed below in chronological order, starting with the earliest upcoming course.
Computational models are increasingly useful in modern neuroscience. In this course, we will cover advanced methods for analysis and simulation of neural systems looking at both biophysical and cognitive perspectives. We will focus on models of neural dynamics (using dynamical systems and biophysical models), perception and cognition (using artificial neural networks and brain-inspired deep learning approaches). The course will also contain a strong component of practical ‘hands-on’ work by the students – which will implement computational models during the course.
