Neuromorphic Computing in the Netherlands
NCN2022
Neuromorphic Computing inspired by computation in the brain is rapidly growing in high-tech research as the principal paradigm for EdgeAI. In this workshop, we aim to bring together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines working with neuromorphic technology to discuss trends from algorithmic, architectural, and application domains across the Netherlands.
Time: 30th September 2022, 11.30 – 18.00h (CEST)
Location (hybrid): Robot Atrium – MM 01.430 & MM 01.573 (poster & lunch space) and MM 04.610 (talks) at the Maria Montessori building | Thomas van Aquinostraat 4, 6525 GD Nijmegen.
