First out is the Netherlands Node, with a day-long symposium on October 14, held in Haag. The symposium will feature presentations from both computational and database-related fields in neuroinformatics (see program), as well as a panel discussion on the role of neuroinformatics in new initiatives such as E-science, EuroBioimaging and the Human Brain Project; and the best way to achieve a vibrant community.

Next, in the beginning of November, is the Indian Node with a three-day event in New Delhi. The first day (Nov. 1) is devoted to a meeting of the Indian Node members. The following two days (Nov. 2-3) take the form of an introductory workshop on neuroinformatics, with lectures on systems neuroscience, neuroimaging, systems biology and modeling. 

Last out on December 16 is the Belgian Node, with its first ever Belgian Node meeting on neuroinformatics -  a one-day workshop which aims to disseminate to the Belgian community the recent developments within neuroinformatics, and to provide the community with an opportunity to interact and network with international and local experts.
