Become a NeuroKit local partner
On behalf of the Cajal Programme, thank you for joining as a local group for one or more our online NeuroKits, and helping us to spread experimental neuroscience knowledge all around the world! By filling in this form you become one of our local NeuroKit partners.
The Cajal Programme will make available the full curriculum to local partners. This includes access to online materials (video lectures, tutorials, and worksheets) and the physical materials (NeuroKits), which will be updated every year.
To guarantee the high standards of the course, we ask that local participants are trained either by our online Teaching Assistants or by a local Teaching Assistant who has previously participated in our NeuroKit courses, or has ben trained by our faculty before the start of the coure.
Upcoming online NeuroKits that you can join in:
1. Visual Reactive Programming - Bonsai, 24-28 October 2022 (deadline for registration 20th of September).
2. Modern Approaches to Behavioural Analysis, 21-25 November 2022 (deadline for registration 1st of November).
3. Experimental Neuroscience Bootcamp, 5-9 December 2022 (deadline for registration 1st of November).
4. Extracellualr Electrophysiology Acquistition, 2023 dates to be confirmed.
INFORMATION, please read carefully
Local responsible. For the organisation of the course, you will need to have a contact person, a local facilitator, who will be in charge of organising the local course, find a place for the local students to attend the course together, and be the person who submits the form. The person can be a student taking the course, a senior researcher, an administrator, etc.
Local Teaching Assistants (TAs). We recommend 1 TA for every 4-5 students. If you do not have a local person that can act as a TA, please include it in the form, and we will provide online TAs. Local past participants can then become local TAs and run the next local course.
Available kits. Since this is a pilot scheme, and we would like to offer this opportunity to as many of partners as possible, we will provide a maximum of 3 kits per location. For each kit, we recommend 2 students per kit, maximum 3. Hence, 9 students maximum will be able to take the course this time.
Participant selections. The selection of the participants attending the course will be done entirely by you. We will simply ask participants to fill a form with their information to be able to provide them a certificate upon course completion.
Registration deadline. You can join our online NeuroKits programme anytime. However, please submit this form before the registration deadline of each specific course to be included in that round. For instance, to participate in the Visual reactive Programming - Bonsai, we kindly ask you to fill in the form by the 20th of September (you only need to let us know how many kits you require).
