This Research Coordination Network, in the form of an International Institute "without walls," is dedicated to the advancement of research and education in Neuromorphic engineering. Neuromorphic engineering is a young discipline in Bioengineering that is based on the design and fabrication on artificial neural systems, whose physical architecture and design principles are based on those of the biological nervous systems. The Aims of the Institute for Neuromorphic Engineering (INE) will be: 1) to foster the continuation and completion of specific collaborative interactions designated at the annual Workshop; 2) to organize smaller and highly focused meetings throughout the year to allow the exchange of ideas and discussion on designated topics, as well as to hold a mid-winter meeting to discuss and evaluate the progress of the INE; 3) to organize and expand the education activities beyond the confines of the Workshop to other participating institutions. The RCN members also will help organize the annual Telluride Workshop at which members and students will meet over three weeks for intensive research and teaching. The INE will have minimal permanent administrative staff and will have no permanent scientific staff, building, or equipment overheads. Instead, the INE will utilize the staff and facilities of its international member laboratories, which have a proven record of collaborative research.

这个研究协调网络，以一个“没有围墙”的国际研究所的形式，致力于推进神经形态工程的研究和教育。神经形态工程是生物工程领域的一门新兴学科，以设计和制造人工神经系统为基础，其物理结构和设计原理以生物神经系统为基础。神经形态工程研究所（INE）的目标是：1)促进年度研讨会指定的特定协作互动的延续和完成；2)全年组织规模较小、重点突出的会议，就指定议题交换意见和进行讨论，并在冬季中期举行会议，讨论和评估INE的进展情况；（三）组织并拓展研修班范围以外的其他参与机构的教育活动。RCN成员还将帮助组织一年一度的Telluride研讨会，在该研讨会上，成员和学生将在三周的时间里会面，进行深入的研究和教学。该研究所将拥有最少的长期行政人员，没有长期的科学人员、建筑或设备管理费用。相反，INE将利用其国际成员实验室的工作人员和设施，这些实验室在合作研究方面有良好的记录。
