A Pioneering Ecosystem for Neuroscience Breakthroughs
Digital Infrastructure for Brain Research
EBRAINS is Europe’s digital infrastructure for brain research. It provides unique tools and data bringing together neuroscience, computing and AI to accelerate progress in brain science and medicine. EBRAINS enables researchers to explore the brain across all levels – from the molecular and cellular levels to the whole organ. EBRAINS was born from a European spirit of scientific collaboration across countries and disciplines. Now, its powerful technologies are open to all.
EBRAINS at a Glance
The EBRAINS research infrastructure was originally built by the EU-funded Human Brain Project. Now, EBRAINS is being further developed with the support of the European Commission, a network of National Nodes and institutional partners from across Europe.
Our Mission
EBRAINS is on a mission to revolutionise how neuroscience is conducted. The digital ecosystem that we provide enables advances in brain research that translate into innovations in neuroscience, healthcare and brain-related technology.
Building on the best of national efforts through a pan-European network of National Nodes run by EBRAINS member institutions
Science Vision
Our vision is to revolutionise how neuroscience research is performed, changing the research culture from fragmented individual laboratory efforts to integrated platform research, ultimately leading to a better understanding of the brain and improving brain health and technology.
Ethics & Society
As a European research infrastructure, EBRAINS serves the scientific community and aims to promote the public good. We recognise that true scientific and technical excellence requires ethical excellence.
EBRAINS 2.0
Since 2024, the EBRAINS infrastructure is being further developed within the EU-funded EBRAINS 2.0 project. Its aim is to establish a new standard for brain atlases, gather and connect multimodal brain data and advance digital twin approaches.
The EBRAINS AISBL
The EBRAINS AISBL is an international non-profit association (AISBL), headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.
