Advancing a responsible, ethical vision for EBRAINS

Organized in collaboration with the Human Brain Project (HBP) experts on Ethics and Responsible Research, the meeting gathered a renowned panel of international experts.

As a European research infrastructure, EBRAINS serves the scientific community and aims to promote the public good. At EBRAINS, we strongly believe that true scientific and technical excellence requires the integration of ethical and social concerns into all our activities.

To achieve this vision, EBRAINS is building on the contributions of the Human Brain Project to drive and promote high ethical standards and principles of responsible research and innovation among our users, partners, and communities.
