08 May 2023EBRAINS welcomes Radboud University as new full member
EBRAINS is pleased to announce that Radboud University has joined the EBRAINS AISBL as a full member.
The membership went into effect on 1 September 2022. It will give Radboud University 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.
Radboud University is a leading Dutch university, known for its international orientation, wide range of academic disciplines, interdisciplinary research and push towards creating societal impact on regional, national and international levels. The campus is home to world-class research facilities, such as the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, devoted to understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of human cognition and behaviour in health and disease. In addition, Radboud University and Radboudumc have intensive collaborations with major multinational companies in the Netherlands and Europe and established strong cooperation with local and regional governmental agencies, civil society actors and other stakeholders.
EBRAINS represents the next step in the decades-long effort to provide standardised platforms for storing and processing neuroscience data. This will be a strategic infrastructure and enabler for advances in research but especially in bringing neuroscience to the clinic in developing applications for treating neuropathologies such as stroke, Parkinson’s and dementia. The Dutch EBRAINS network, led by Radboud University, will strategically contribute to developing and deploying these platforms and technologies.
Radboud University
We are delighted to welcome Radboud University as a full member at EBRAINS. The university is involved in a multitude of activities related to neuroscience, with a special commitment to the field of neurotechnology.
