Each year, Ventspils University College organises scientific conferences and seminars.

At the end of the academic year, the Students’ Scientific Conference in Economy, Translation and Technology is held in Ventspils University College since 2003. In this conference, the students inform their colleagues about scientific research accomplishments in the fields of economy, translation and technologies.

The Christmas Conference of Ventspils University College is held each year before Christmas, when Ventspils University College, its lecturers and researchers reflect upon what has been done during the year.

At the end of April, lecturers and doctoral students as well as international partners take part in the international conference which is organised by Ventspils University College in cooperation with BA School of Business and Finance and Riga International School of Economics and Business Administration.

Understanding the Brain: from Neuroscience to Deep Learning

The complex and interdisciplinary field of neuroinformatics combines neuroscience, computer science, physics and applied mathematics allowing to integrate the information across all scales of brain organization – from genes to behavior – to help understand the brain functions in health and disease. The course is interdisciplinary and introduces state-of-the-art in neuroinformatics with practical tutorials on computational modeling of brain functions, EEG/SEEG signal processing and introduction to various deep learning algorithms.

The target audience is advanced master/doctoral students, researchers in biomedical and technology sciences, who would like to get an introduction to neuroinformatics and computational neuroscience as modern methods in neuroscience research.
