Cooperations

EBRAINS

BRAINS (European Brain Research Infrastructures) is a new digital research infrastructure created as part of the EU-funded Human Brain Project (HBP). The aim is to promote brain research and the translation of scientific findings in this field into brain-inspired innovations in computing, medicine and industry. To this end, multidisciplinary neuroscience works closely with the developers of state-of-the-art information technologies and uses powerful computers to assemble the ever-growing knowledge about the brain from different research fields.

Key Mechanisms of Motor Control

This Collaborative Research Centre investigates the genetic factors as well as cellular, synaptic and neuronal processes underlying motor control in animals and humans. This expands the knowledge of motor control both in the healthy state and in neuropsychiatric diseases and enables more specific therapeutic strategies.

Supercomputing and Modeling for the Human Brain

The Helmholtz Joint Lab SMHB at the interface of supercomputing, machine learning and neuroscience addresses key issues in the analysis, simulation and visualization of extremely large and complex data sets.

Helmholtz AI

As an interdisciplinary platform, the Helmholtz AI will bring together the Helmholtz Association's outstanding scientific portfolio, excellent infrastructures, unique datasets, and high methodological expertise, thus building a basis to put the Helmholtz Association at the forefront of AI research.

Helmholtz European Partnering

Forschungszentrum Jülich is one of three Helmholtz centers whose European research projects are funded under the "Helmholtz European Partnering" program. Together with the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), a platform for neuropharmacology is to be established to create new drugs in neurology.

International Research Training Group

The International Research Training Group (IRTG) “The Neuroscience of Modulating Aggression and Impulsivity in Psychopathology” has been jointly established by scientists of JARA-BRAIN (Jülich-Aachen Research Alliance), the institutionalized co-operation between RWTH Aachen and Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ), Germany, and scientists from the University of Pennsylvania, US. The major aim of the IRTG is the advancement of current knowledge on the neurobiological and pathological mechanisms of aggression and impulsivity. This is, and will be, achieved using experimental, animal, clinical and increasingly also data-driven approaches.

JARA-BRAIN

The INM is involved in the cooperation between Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University in the section JARA│BRAIN of the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA) with two institute divisions. The scientists are developing new strategies to diagnose, treat and prevent mental and neurological diseases.

Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration

Within the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) platform, new concepts and technologies for the sustainable handling of complex research data are developed. The Information Hub is located at the Forschungszentrum.
