Save the Date: EBRAINS Summit 2025 heads to Brussels this December

Dates: 8-11 December 2025
Venue: The Egg Conference Centre, Brussels

Get ready for the EBRAINS Summit 2025! Mark your calendars for four days of discussions, networking, and innovation in neuroscience. 

The event will feature a scientific conference with leading experts, a public day to engage with the wider community, a poster session, and a science market exhibition. Attendees will also have networking opportunities to connect with peers and leaders in brain research.

The programme will showcase how EBRAINS’ research infrastructure, digital tools and services are being actively used to advance neuroscience and drive innovation. Through real-world examples, attendees will explore how these resources support digital neuroscience research, with sessions covering topics such as AI and its connections to neuroscience, brain medicine, neuromorphic computing, and more.

The EBRAINS Summit 2025 partners with the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) to support the shared mission of both organisations, in particular to facilitate FAIR data management and to collaborate across borders in Europe and beyond. Following the Summit, INCF will host its annual Assembly at the same venue, offering additional opportunities for engagement and collaboration.

Stay tuned – more details, including registration, will be available soon. Keep an eye on the EBRAINS website for updates! 

ABOUT EBRAINS 

EBRAINS is Europe’s Digital Neuroscience Research Infrastructure, providing open access to computational modelling, brain atlases, shared digital analysis tools, and unique open datasets to advance brain research and medicine, enabling large-scale collaboration.  

Through EBRAINS, scientists can perform complex analyses, using brain maps to facilitate neuroimaging, model the brain across scales, access supercomputers, and manage vast amounts of data. These capabilities accelerate research and drive innovation in medical applications – such as exploring disease mechanisms through datasets and digital tools, and developing digital twins of the brain. Additionally, EBRAINS contributes to broader scientific advancements by fostering AI-driven neuroscience, supporting the creation of a European Health Data Space, and strengthening collaboration between research infrastructures.

ABOUT INCF 

INCF is an international non-profit organization that promotes the uptake of FAIR data management practices in neuroscience through the development of open and FAIR standards and best practices, training, and community building.  The INCF network spans 4 continents and comprises academic groups, scientific non-profit organizations, and companies in the neuroscience/neurotech space. With over 15 years of experience in open, FAIR, and citable neuroscience, INCF catalyzes an active neuroinformatics community and convenes communities around training and development projects. INCF also offers FAIR consultancy services and fiscal sponsorships for projects within our scope.
