WELCOME

We are happy to invite you to Computational and Systems Neuroscience (COSYNE) 2027, taking place in Montréal, QC, Canada, from 11-16 March 2027! COSYNE brings together researchers from systems neuroscience, computational biology, and related fields to explore the neural basis of behavior and cognition. It’s a unique meeting point for both experimental and theoretical work, and it’s known for fostering deep discussion, fresh ideas, and unexpected collaborations.

Founded in 2004 to provide an inclusive forum for the exchange of empirical and theoretical approaches to problems in systems neuroscience, in order to understand how neural systems function. Today, it is recognized as the premier computational and systems neuroscience conference, drawing over 1,000 researchers annually from a wide variety of disciplines.

The success of COSYNE and its scientific program depends critically on the free exchange of ideas and recent findings, which involves the international neuroscience community at large. Therefore, we sincerely hope that you will attend. We can’t wait to welcome you to COSYNE 2027!

What’s New for COSYNE 2027

Main Meeting and Workshops in Montréal
In 2027, COSYNE's Main Meeting and Workshops will take place in the same city. The Main Meeting and poster sessions will be held at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth, followed by Workshops at Le Westin Montréal in Old Montréal.

Attending both? Book both hotels and plan to switch on Sunday, March 14, so you're staying where the COSYNE community is gathering for each part of the meeting. The properties are about a 10-minute walk apart, and no shuttle service will be provided.

A New Approach to Travel Grants
Beginning in 2027, Presenter, New Attendee, and Mentorship grants will cover Main Meeting costs directly rather than providing unrestricted cash awards. All recipients will receive complimentary Main Meeting registration, and some awards will also include accommodations at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth.
