Becoming a Member of EBRAINS

The EBRAINS AISBL was founded in Brussels in 2019 as an international non-profit association. Its objective is to promote research and innovation in the field of brain science, in particular through the creation and operation of a European-led, cutting-edge, ICT-based scientific and medical research infrastructure. 

We invite you to become a member of the EBRAINS AISBL; to co-design future iterations of EBRAINS’ cutting-edge tools, develop new project consortia built around the use of the research infrastructure, and ultimately, play a role in shaping digital brain research in Europe. Universities, research institutes and organisations committed to advancing neuroscience, technology and clinical translation can become members. All EBRAINS members strengthen the ecosystem through collaboration and benefit from the increased visibility and exposure.

Central Hub of a Distributed Infrastructure

The EBRAINS Research Infrastructure supports brain research and related translational activities, which include both clinical and brain-inspired technologies. The association aims to further co-develop the tools and services provided by the EBRAINS Research Infrastructure, making it adaptable and flexible by catalysing the community effort. The EBRAINS AISBL acts as a Central Hub that coordinates a pan-European distributed network of services delivered through National Nodes.

• Full Members will be in the position to influence the funding strategy of EBRAINS by being actively consulted for the development of new project consortia built around the use of the Research Infrastructure.

Associate members

• This is the opportunity to follow closely the development of the Research Infrastructure.
• Associate Members will have the possibility of proposing services for consideration on the platform, hence ensuring growing interest in the outcome of their research and allowing for their continued development.
