Workshops & Symposia - 2026
Neurizons 2026
Sept 21 - May 19-22, 2026, Max Planck Institute for Multidisziplinary Natural Sciences
The 12th Biennial Neurizons Conference is organised by the IMPRS for Neurosciences. The event combines scientific conference and Career Fair, bringing together professionals who have built careers outside academia, as well as professional development workshops focused on navigating and succeeding both within and beyond academia. The plenary speakers at the conference include Prof. Ilka Diester, Prof. Sheila Nirenberg, Prof. Frank Winkler, Prof. Pieter Roelfsema, Prof. Gustavo Deco, Prof. Helen Barron, and others. SFB PhD student Andrea Fernanda Campos Perez is member of the organisation committee and the SFB is happy to support the event. More information about the conference and the registration procedure can be found on the Neurizons Website.

Linear Models and their application in R
Sept 21 - Oct 9, 2026; Old lecture hall, German Primate Center
The workshop by Roger Mundry introduces linear models and their application in R. The course is part-time lecture, part-time hands-on workshop and introduces various statistical models from simple regression to Generalized Linear Mixed Models. Participants furthermore learn how to visualize their data and how to interpret model assumptions and diagnostics.

Data simulation for linear models in R
March 2-20, 2026, 10 AM - 2 PM; Lecture Hall West, German Primate Center, Kellnerweg 4, 37077 Göttingen
In this three-week workshop, Roger Mundy teaches how to simulate data in a framework of linear models. Simulated data has the advantage that the “truth” is known. Hence, one can compare what a model reveals with truth. The perhaps most well-known use of simulated data is 'power analysis', i.e. determining the probability of an analysis to reveal significance, given a certain effect and sample size, an alpha level, and a test. However, it can also be used to test, for instance, if a method is working as planned, how an analysis behaves if assumptions are violated, or to estimate the width of confidence intervals.
