INCF Neuroinformatics Hackathon 2018

What is our objective?

In association with the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) 2018 Congress, neuroinformatics teams from McGill University, Concordia University, and the University of Montreal are hosting the 2018 informatics hackathon. With an emphasis on interoperability between tools, datasets, sharing platforms, and standards used in neuroscience research, participants at the Informatics Hackathon should come to learn, develop proposals, implement solutions, and engage in training.

In keeping with the Brainhack mission, we hope the outcome of this event is an increased awareness of existing neuroinformatics projects and initiatives, and development towards unified solutions for reproducible, sustainable, and accessible neuroscience.

Please join in discussions on Slack in the #informaticshack2018 channel to connect with the community and start planning your projects!

Schedule:

The schedule will be approximately as follows.

For those wishing to learn a new skill or tool, there will be on-demand workshops run throughout the event on an as-needed basis. Some potential workshop topics will be automated documentation, software testing, collaborative coding, and practices for reproducibility.

Otherwise, the time is intended to be relatively unstructured and provide opportunities for collaboration and self-organization based on the participants' interests and emerging themes.
