EBRAINS RI Secures Funding For A New Phase Of Digital Neuroscience

The European Commission has signed the grant agreement providing EBRAINS 2.0, an EU co-funded collaborative research infrastructure (RI), with € 38 million until 2026.

Over the next three years, the EBRAINS RI will continue to develop tools and services to widely serve research communities in neuroscience, brain medicine and brain-inspired technologies. Developed as a legacy of the Human Brain Project, EBRAINS is a digital ecosystem where researchers, clinicians, and experts converge to explore the complexity of the brain at various scales and to derive therefrom new solutions for brain medicine and technology.

The new project will foster the development and provision of the infrastructure’s research technologies to the scientific community. It aims to establish a new standard for brain atlases, gather and connect multimodal neuroscientific and clinical data, and push forward the development of digital twin approaches. 

The project involves 59 partner institutions from 16 European countries, including the JSC and the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM) of Forschungszentrum Jülich. The project is coordinated by the EBRAINS AISBL, a non-profit organisation founded in Brussels during the Human Brain Project, and has started in January 2024.

More information can be found in the press releases of Forschungszentrum Jülich (German) and EBRAINS (English).
