Welcome to the NeuMat Kick-Off Meeting!
Date: 23-25th September 2025
Location: Trinity College, Cambridge
The NeuMat Kick-Off Meeting marks the exciting beginning of the UK-wide NeuMat network, bringing together key stakeholders and experts in the field of neuromorphic technologies. This meeting aims to set the stage for future collaborations and outline the strategic direction of the project. The agenda is packed with engaging discussions with renowned invited speakers from government, academia and industry, plus information on upcoming workshops and engagement initiatives. This kickoff meeting is a crucial step in fostering innovation and advancing research in the science and technology of neuromorphic computing. The meeting will be focussed on scoping this 5-year Network grant to maximise success toward its four central aims:
NeuMat Network Aims:
- Foster and Educate the Community: Create an ecosystem of researchers at varying career stages, representing diverse scientific, ethnic, and gender backgrounds, and encompassing all geographic regions.
- Strengthen Academic-Industry Ties: Enhance collaboration between academia and the private sector.
- Catalyse Research & Development Funding: Initiate new funding proposals on subjects that emerge directly from idea cross-fertilisation within the network.
- Ensure Continuity: Build a cohort of early-career researchers and a long-term vision for the future beyond NeuMat.
