28 Jun 2023EBRAINS welcomes POLIMI as new associate member
EBRAINS is pleased to announce that Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI) has joined the EBRAINS AISBL as an associate member.
The membership will give POLIMI the opportunity to co-design future iterations of EBRAINS’ cutting-edge tools and services. These state-of-the-art capabilities – which cover data sharing, atlasing, modelling, simulation, high-performance computing, and neurorobotics – aim to help European researchers to address major challenges in brain health, benefiting from insights into data science, brain organization, and artificial intelligence gathered from the EU Flagship Human Brain Project.
The Politecnico di Milano is one of the best scientific-technological universities in the world, ranked 1st in Italy and among the world top universities in the three areas of specialization according to the QS World University Ranking: 8th in Design, 10th in Architecture and 18th in Engineering.
Founded in 1863, Politecnico di Milano focuses on the quality and innovation of its teaching and research, promoting the culture of sustainable development and strengthening a fruitful relationship with business and productive world by means of experimental research and technological transfer.
Becoming a member of EBRAINS is a strategic move for Politecnico di Milano. It allows us to promote our research on brain microcircuits and simulations, with a focus on learning mechanisms and neurorobotics. EBRAINS provides advanced tools, resources, and collaboration opportunities. It enhances our visibility and impact on an international scale.
Responsible for EBRAINS at Politecnico di Milano
We are very pleased to welcome Politecnico di Milano as an associate member at EBRAINS. The university conducts high-level research on brain modelling, simulation, and neurorobotics, among other areas in neuroscience.
