ABC - The Past
The Past: Four engaging talks from ABC members and alumni, Joe Bathelt (FMG), Fleur Bouwer (FMG), Anne Marije Kaag (VU), and Harm Krugers (FNWI), who showed the impact that ABC funding made for their research and career.
ABC - The Present
The Present: Several short talks by Giacomo Aldegheri (FMG), Wouter Cox (FMG), Karline Janmaat together with Evy van Berlo (FNWI), Imme Lammertink (FGW), Maarten Marsman (FMG), Jorge Mejias (FNWI), and Marieke Schouwstra (FGW) about ongoing ABC projects
ABC - The Future
The Future: The Future of ABC was discussed with Birte Forstmann, Harm Krugers, Guido van Wingen, Henkjan Honing and Richard Ridderinkhof during a lively roundtable. The role of AI in brain research was debated and, even if opinions remain different, it appeared clear that we can not ignore the ongoing revolution.
