EBRAINS AISBL

EBRAINS is an international non-profit association (AISBL), headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. It is made up of 9 Full Members and 36 Associate Members. The Research Infrastructure is organised around a central hub that coordinates a pan-European network of services delivered through National Nodes. EBRAINS is governed by three bodies, the General Assembly, the Governing Board, and the Management Board. A National Node Board gathers Node representatives. EBRAINS also has two Advisory Committees, one for Science and Technology and one for Ethics and Society.
