Potential STSM hosts
A Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) is a visit to a host organization in another country to carry out a specific piece of work. INDoS provides grants to funancially support STSMs. The organizations listed below explicitly indicated that they welcome STSM visitors to work on specific projects. You can contact the host to discuss a possible project prior to applying for a grant.
STSMs visits are in principle possible to all INDoS member organizations. If you would like your organization and/or project to be listed on this page, please submit a pull request to the GitHub repository or contact Mathew Abrams (mathew@incf.org).
EBRAINS AISBL
Contact: Lyuba Zehl (lyuba.zehl@ebrains.eu)
EBRAINS AISBL (Brussels, Belgium) is an international non-profit association coordinating the EBRAINS Research Infrastructure, a distributed pan-European digital infrastructure supporting neuroscience research. The EBRAINS AISBL Data & Knowledge Team develops and maintains the openMINDS metadata framework and associated tools, collaborates closely with the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph and Curation Teams, and contributes to international, cross-modality ontology and terminology development. We welcome STSM projects related to openMINDS development, ontology and terminology alignment, and neuroscience data curation, including metadata integration, enrichment, and optimisation within the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph, as well as the development of supporting tools and workflows.
Radboud University
Contact: Robert Oostenveld (robert.oostenveld@donders.ru.nl)
At the Donders we use fMRI, MEG and EEG to study cognition in health and disease, combining cognitive neuroscience with advanced neuroimaging methods. As part of our research, we develop open source analysis methods like FieldTrip, BIDScoin and QuIDBBIDS, and share our neuroimaging data in the Radboud Data Repository. We welcome STSM projects related to reproducible neuroimaging and open science, for example for researchers looking to convert their own data to BIDS and to share it publicly.
Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg
Contacts: Jochem Rieger (jochem.rieger@uni-oldenburg.de), Karel Mauricio Lopez Vilaret (karel.mauricio.lopez.vilaret@uni-oldenburg.de)
At the University of Oldenburg, we combine cognitive neuroscience, multimodal neuroimaging (MRI, fNIRS, MEG and EEG), and open-source software development to support reproducible and FAIR neuroscience. We develop tools such as BIDS Manager and MEEGqc to facilitate standardized data organization, metadata management, and automated quality assessment. We welcome STSM projects related to: FAIR neuroimaging data curation, quality assessment and control, BIDS-based workflows, data privacy problems and the use of artificial intelligence for their mitigation, and on the ethical and legal aspects of neuroimaging data sharing.
