- CSN The Convergent Science Network of biomimetic and biohybrid systems (CSN) is a coordination action (CA) for the development of future real-world technologies. It will contribute to the advancement and coordination of our understanding and engineering of biomimetic and hybrid biological and artificial systems by strengthening its European research base through a number of training, dissemination and policy shaping activities. These are based on a series of workshops and schools while the first international conference on biomimetic and biohybrid systems is planned for 2012.
CSN is funded by the 7th Research Framework Programme FP7-ICT-CSN-248986
- SENC is a non-profit society founded on 1985 in answer to the challenge to combine efforts to advance in knowledge of the nervous system and to generally spread this knowledge between researchers and society.
