*3rd annual GU-TUM Neuroengineering Summer School
<https://cne.georgetown.edu/2025-summer-school/> **(cne.georgetown.edu/school
<http://cne.georgetown.edu/school>)*
*Georgetown University*
*Washington, DC*
*June 16-20, 2025*
*Application deadline: April 8, 2025*

The Georgetown-TUM Summer Schools in Neuroengineering started in 2023 with
the rollout of the Center for Neuroengineering (CNE)
<https://cne.georgetown.edu/> and the first summer school at Georgetown,
followed by the “TUM-GU Summer School in Neuroengineering” at the Technical
University of Munich, Germany in 2024. This year’s edition is back at
Georgetown University in Washington, DC. The theme is “Neuroengineering for
Restoration to Function”, highlighting ways in which neuroengineering
approaches can aid in restoring function after injury- or disease-related
impairment.

The goal of neuroengineering is to apply engineering principles and
techniques to understand, repair, replace, and enhance the nervous system.
The interdisciplinary nature of the field requires a close collaboration
between neuroscientists (spanning approaches from cellular to cognitive)
and engineers (including biomedical, computer science, electrical,
mechanical…), and the goal of the summer school is to bring together
students (from advanced undergraduate to graduate), postdocs and faculty
from all these areas.

After the great response to the pre-summer school workshops in Munich last
year, this summer school for the first time includes a number of workshops.
Summer school participants will work in small groups and gain hands-on
experience in solving neuroengineering-related problems. In addition, as in
previous years, there will be a range of talks from speakers in the CNE
alliance (GU, TUM, Lawrence Livermore National Labs) and other
institutions, discussion panels (on “the future of neuroengineering in the
clinic” and “neuroethics”), as well as social activities. Get ready for an
exciting week!

Applications using the *online form*
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUUkBh8DYGgEHNMc6iyjgZBap8io6WDtcww0uHtP0U5wD-wg/viewform>
are
due April 8. Participation fees are $50 and scholarships can be provided.
Breakfasts and lunches are included. Participants are responsible for
travel to DC as well as housing (note that we have reserved housing in
on-campus dorms).

If you have questions about the summer school, please contact
*neuroengineering at georgetown.edu* <neuroengineering at georgetown.edu>. We
hope to see you in DC!
