The TUM-Georgetown Neuroengineering Summer School is a yearly event, co-organized by the Center of Competence in Neuroengineering at TUM and the Center for Neuroengineering at Georgetown University.

The 1st TUM-Georgetown Neuroengineering Summer School took place in Washington in 2023. 

Neuroengineering is an emerging interdisciplinary field that aims to translate findings in neuroscience to real-world practical engineering applications to improve the quality of life of people with neurological and sensorimotor disabilities. Examples are neuroprostheses for amputees, deep brain stimulation for persons with Parkinson’s disease, electrophysiological neurofeedback for patients with disorders of mental health, and soft robotic exoskeletons for neurorehabilitation. These advancements are driven by neuroscientific basic research in areas such as neural plasticity, multisensory integration, and motor control & learning,  and are guided by clinical needs and neuroethical considerations. Reciprocally, neuroscientists are gaining new insights into how the brain functions based on these advanced neuroengineering techniques. 

To maximize the benefit of neurotechnologies for patients and society at large, we have to train a new generation of neuroengineers in this interdisciplinary integration of neuroscience, engineering, and neuroethics.   

Register is closed.

Participation in the Neuroengineering Summer School is free for students and faculty from TUM and Georgetown University. Soon after your application we will get in contact with you.
