Projects
Brain Research and Integrative Neuroscience Network for COVID-19 Ghent University
The Brain Research and Integrative Neuroscience Network for COVID-19 (BRAINN) will advance the research and innovation capacity of the University of Cyprus (UCY) as indicated in the ‘Widening Participation & Strengthening the ERA’ Work Programme, by twinning with three advanced partners in brain research, Maastricht University (UM), King’s College London (KCL), and Ghent University (UGent). Through networking activities, training and ...
Advancing brain research in children's developmental neurocognitive disorders. KU Leuven
The European Brain Council (EBC) has recommended the disorders of the brain to be prioritised for funding. The purposes of this ChildBrain ETN are:
- to train young scientists, Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), to utilise evidence-based neuroscientific knowledge for helping children, especially those at high risk for dropout due to neurocognitive disorders, to meet future educational and societal demands.
- to develop new, ...
EBRAINS 2.0: A Research Infrastructure to Advance Neuroscience and Brain Health Ghent University
EBRAINS is a collaborative European Research Infrastructure designed to advance and accelerate progress in neuroscience and brain health. This innovative infrastructure, a legacy of the Human Brain Project (HBP), is an ecosystem where researchers, clinicians and experts from various disciplines converge to explore and analyze brain complexity – from molecular and cellular levels to the functioning of the entire organ. Therefore, the project ...

European Doctoral Network for Neural Prostheses and Brain Research KU Leuven
DONUT, European Doctoral Network for Neural Prostheses and Brain Research has the mission to provide a multidisciplinary and inter-sectoral network for young talented researchers. The ambition of the project is to serve as a springboard for the expansion of EU partners into the fast-developing Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology and connected scientific disciplines. The DN will leverage the complementary expertise of 7 academic ...
The Human Brain Project: Understanding the human brain. KU Leuven
Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the FET Flagship Programme, is to translate this ...
Opening the brain blood barrier to treat brain tumours KU Leuven
Glioblastoma, the most common form of malignant primary brain tumour in adults, is an incurable disease with a poor prognosis and an average survival rate of about 15 months under current therapies. One of the major obstacles to treatment is the blood brain barrier. Part of our body’s natural defence system, the blood brain barrier keeps disease-causing pathogens from passing into brain tissue, but it also blocks medicines that ...
The Human Brain Project: Understanding the human brain KU Leuven
Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time. Such an understanding can provide profound insights into our humanity, leading to fundamentally new computing technologies, and transforming the diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders. Modern ICT brings this prospect within reach. The HBP Flagship Initiative (HBP) thus proposes a unique strategy that uses ICT to integrate neuroscience data from around ...
Human Brain Project Specific Grant Agreement 3 KU Leuven
The last of four multi-year work plans will take the HBP to the end of its original incarnation as an EU Future and Emerging Technology Flagship. The plan is that the end of the Flagship will see the start of a new, enduring European scientific research infrastructure, EBRAINS, hopefully on the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap. The SGA3 work plan builds on the strong scientific foundations laid in the ...
