Two weeks at IISc Bangalore, building the future of brain-inspired computing. A sister workshop to Telluride and Capo Caccia, carrying their legacy of discovery to a new generation of engineers.
Neuromorphic engineering has thrived in the US and Europe, nurtured for decades by workshops like Telluride and Capo Caccia. BNEW brings that same hands-on training, mentorship, and collaboration to the Asia-Pacific region, equipping a new generation to design brain-inspired hardware.
Two weeks of talks, hands-on sessions, and collaborative projects each January at IISc Bangalore, learning by building real neuromorphic systems.
A sister workshop to Telluride and Capo Caccia, bringing their legacy of innovation and direct mentorship from leading researchers in the field.
Neuromorphic integrated circuits, event-based sensing and computing, and brain-computer interfaces, the cutting edge of brain-inspired hardware.
From a first gathering to an annual fixture for neuromorphic engineering in the Asia-Pacific.
The first BNEW brought the Telluride and Capo Caccia model to the Asia-Pacific region, with keynote talks, hands-on demonstrations, and collaborative projects.
The second edition expanded its reach, drawing more participants and institutions across a wider programme of topic tracks, speakers, and projects.
BNEW returns from 04/01/2027 to 17/01/2027 at IISc Bangalore, training the researchers who will carry the field forward.
BNEW brings researchers from across the world to IISc Bangalore, where expertise converges, mixes, and sparks new collaboration. Our mission is to equip the next generation with essential skills in neuromorphic engineering, and send that knowledge back out to push the boundaries of brain-inspired computing.
Three core tracks of lively discussion, hands-on sessions, and collaborative projects across cutting-edge neuromorphic engineering.
Exploring novel neuromorphic architectures, circuits, and hardware that demonstrate performance advantages over conventional computing architectures such as CPUs and GPUs.
The latest in neuromorphic sensors that mimic the human senses, including dynamic vision sensors, neuromorphic radar, and olfactory sensors, enabling new possibilities for robotics, autonomous systems, healthcare, and the IoT.
Unlocking the potential of brain–computer interfaces through neuromorphic principles, innovative signal-processing algorithms for real-time decoding, and cutting-edge hardware for faster, more accurate communication between brain and machine.
A distinguished team bringing global academic and industry experience.
