NeurotechEU-Decide: Joint Autumn School on Decision-Making Joint Autumn School on Decision-Making

The University of Bonn and Radboud University are hosting a joint Autumn School

How do we make decisions – and why do we sometimes fail?

The University of Bonn and Radboud University are pleased to invite applications for the Joint Autumn School on Decision-Making, organised within the NeurotechEU alliance. 

This one-week, in-person programme brings together students and researchers from across the NeurotechEU alliance to explore how decisions are shaped – from cognitive models and neural mechanisms to clinical conditions and ethical challenges.

What to expect?

Throughout the week, participants will engage with leading researchers and explore key questions such as:

  • How can decisions be modelled and formally described?
  • How do neural systems shape choice behaviour?
