The Brain Engineering Society of Korea (BESK) hosted the first BESK summer school from August 28 to 29. It was held at LG-POSCO Hall, Korea University. For early-bird registrations, applicants were given booklets for the summer school. The registration fee for graduate students and general public were 120,000 Korean Won, whereas undergraduates only had to pay 50,000.

The event was hosted by the BESK and the Institute of Electronics and Information Engineers of Korea Computer Society, and was supervised by the KAIST Brain Science Research Center, Kyungpook National University Ð School of Electronics Engineering, Korea University Department of Brain & Cognitive Engineering, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computational Intelligence (IEEE) Society Seoul Chapter. It was sponsored by IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics (SMC) Society Korea Chapter. 

The programs for each day consisted of three lectures, with lunch and coffee break in between. 

On August 28, Professor Haejeong Park of Yonsei University started with "Bayesian Network Modeling of Brain Cognitions". The next lecture was on "Organizational Principles of Information Processing in the Brain" by Professor Byoung-Tak Zhang of Seoul National University. The last lecture was "Introduction to Brain and Cognitive Engineering Engineering Solutions from Brain Understanding" by Professor Minho Lee of Kyungpook National University. 

On August 29, the first lecture was "Introduction to Deep Learning" by Professor Junmo Kim of KAIST. It was followed by "Development to Higher-order Cognition from Sensory-motor Level Experiences: Neuro-robotics Study" by Professor Jun Tani of KAIST. The final lecture was "Visual Information Processing for Object Recognition" by Professor Unsang Park of Sogang University.
