X Latin American School on Computational Neuroscience – LASCON’26

January 5-30, 2026

NeuroMat (Antonio Galves building)

Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil

The 10th edition of the Latin American School on Computational Neuroscience (LASCON’26) is planned to take place at the Antonio Galves building at the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of São Paulo, in São Paulo, Brazil, from January 5 to 30, 2026.

We are currently seeking financial support to cover the expenses of the faculty who will teach at the school. As a result, we are not yet able to release the program or open the call for student applications. What we can share for now is that, as this will be the tenth edition of the school—marking 20 years since its inception—we have prepared a special program featuring a larger number of faculty members and a broader range of topics compared to previous editions. We expect to receive responses from funding agencies starting in July 2026, after which we will be able to provide further details about LASCON 2026.
