µNEURO Workshop PhD apps

About the workshop

In this workshop, we aim to foster exchange of knowledge about digital tools used at the University of Antwerp. Researchers will present the tools and software used in their group and introduce them to fellow researchers from a user-perspective. 

Our main focus will be on tools for image and data analysis in life sciences. To foster a maximum of exchange between the different research fields, the sessions include a diverse mix of different (imaging) modalities: microscopy, MRI, PET, EEG, …

The day will start with a session about more generic digital tools (reference management, making scientific figures, …) and a lecture about research data management.
