Previous Call for Educational Minicourse Proposals

Call for educational minicourse proposals

We are happy to announce that the call for educational minicourse proposals is now open!

Building upon previous fNIRS conferences, we plan to run an Educational Workshop before the main event (October 15-16, 2026). The course will feature a variety of in-person minicourses aimed at delivering an engaging learning opportunity to propagate useful fNIRS tools & practices built from within the fNIRS community at different levels.

Examples of minicourse proposals include (but are not limited to) training on specific software or hardware, forums on general topics related to data analysis, data acquisition, experimental protocols, etc.

We will have 6 different rooms for the parallel courses that can fit 50 to 150 people. All rooms are equipped with standard audiovisual needs with power outlets for screen projections. There will be no money compensation for giving the minicourses, and for-profit companies need to pay a $900 fee to give a minicourse.

If you have something interesting to share with the community, please submit a proposal by 31 March 2026 on this link.
