The Early Stage Researchers visited Nicosia, Cyprus in March 2022 for an Advanced Course in ‘Novel approaches to collecting high resolution data in connectivity science’. The first part of the course, organised by Rebecca Hodge (Durham University) concentrated on applications in geomorphology, the second half of the course was organised by host Andreas Ioannides (AAISCS) and concentrated on neuroscience applications. As well as training from i-CONN partners, the ESRs enjoyed lectures from Ioannis Michos and visiting experts Professor Semir Zeki from UCL and Dr Vahe Poghosyan from King Fahad Medical City. i-CONN co-hosted a public lecture delivered by Semir Zeki with the European University Cyprus. https://euc.ac.cy/en/events/neuroscientist-semir-zeki-talks-about-the-neurobiology-of-beauty-at-european-university-cyprus/
