The 26th Neurokolloquium will be held on the 15th of February at the Charité Campus Virchow Klinikum. Neurokolloquium is an annual symposium put on by the Charité Clinic and University Outpatient Department for Neurology, during which a variety of lectures and presentations are held on topics from the entire spectrum of work done in the Neurology Department. Themes include therapy, diagnosis, historical content and controversial topics from the field. As part of the day's events, Dr. Petra Ritter will present a guest lecture on The Virtual Brain, covering how brain simulations can aid in better understanding and treatment of neurological illnesses.

Lectures and presentations will be held in German. The event is free for employees and students of the Charité Neurology Department. The fee for external participants is 20€. Please find further details on the program and how to register here.

Petra Ritter and Paul Triebkorn will present The Virtual Brain at Urania Berlin on January 21st, 2020. Urania Berlin is one of the leading centers of dialog between science, the humanities and the public. We are excited to join the many leading scientists who deliver lectures and talks in their areas of research at Urania. The talk will be a part of a series called Berlin Brains 2020, during which neuroscientists working in Berlin will present their current work to the public.

The Human Brain Project shows their work at the German Parliament Bundestag. The Virtual Brain is a central part of the exhibition.

Meet Dr. Petra Ritter during the opening event on Nov 27th . Dr. Ritter will also lead a guided tour through the exhibition on Nov 28.
Access to the exhibition is only possible after prior registration via the website.
This exhibition is in partnership with The Human Brain Project, and includes many beautiful exhibits about the brain. You don't want to miss it.

Published on the 13th of November this year, Dr. Petra Ritter gives a short and very informative interview about the Brain Simulation Unit at Charité, including topics of brain health, healthy ageing, and learning.

You can read some choice quotes, or listen to the 6 minute interview

here: RBB, for the next 7 days only. It's a limited time, so make sure you hear it before it's gone.

Virtual Brain Cloud became Partnering Project of the EU Flagship Human Brain Project.
