“In supporting this international summer school, it is Stiftung Mercator’s intention to help students acquire international experience despite the restrictive rules and regulations governing their programmes of study. We hope that this European model will become firmly established, thus also making a contribution to better quality teaching”

“The Fate of the Memory Trace: Learning, Remembering and Forgetting”
ECE Summer School in Neuroscience at the Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany
From September 4th – 25th, 2011, the first European Campus of Excellence Summer School in neuroscience will be held at the Ruhr-University Bochum. Gifted students from all over Europe meet with eminent neuroscientists from all over the world to learn from each other, talk over and jointly conduct research that reach from neuron to behavior. In a unique setting, the young academics not only get the opportunity to deepen their knowledge in memory research but also get to know fellow students from other European universities. Over a period of 3 weeks the students have the opportunity to attend lectures in the morning and put the newly acquired information into use during practical lab exercises in the afternoon.In the evenings, key lectures on state of the art research from further leading scientists will be held.
The summer school in Bochum is divided into three sections. Each is dedicated to one core issue of memory research:
• Week 1: Acquisition and Consolidation
• Week 2: Retrieval and the Memory System(s)
• Week 3: Extinction and Forgetting
At weekends we invite our guests to get to know the vibrant cultural life of the Ruhr area and also learn about its unique past, for example by visiting a former coal mine or today’s world heritage site “Zeche Zollverein” in Essen. The Bochum European Campus of Excellence starts with an opening speech on September 4th, 2011, and a subsequent banquet at the Ruhr University Bochum.
