Connectionists: Call for Contributions to the EBRAINS 10-Year Roadmap 2026–2036

[OTTEN Lisa]

Dear Colleagues,


EBRAINS is pleased to announce a call for contributions to the EBRAINS 10-Year Roadmap 2026–2036. This call is the first major step in a community-driven process that will define the scientific, clinical and technological priorities guiding the evolution of EBRAINS as Europe’s digital research infrastructure for neuroscience.

Purpose and Vision
EBRAINS invites the neuroscience, clinical, and technology communities to co-create the EBRAINS 10-year Roadmap 2026–2036 — a shared vision and implementation plan for the next decade of digital neuroscience in Europe.
This roadmap aims to identify the scientific, clinical, and technological priorities that will guide EBRAINS as a European research infrastructure.
We seek visionary yet concrete proposals that define science that cannot be done elsewhere — projects, capabilities, or collaborations uniquely enabled by EBRAINS’ data, models, compute, and federated ecosystem.
Proposed activities should make full use of the EBRAINS suite of digital tools and services.
The call presentation by Prof. Viktor Jirsa, EBRAINS Chief Scientific Officer, will take place at the EBRAINS Summit 2025 - Transforming Brain Research and Medicine<https://summit2025.ebrains.eu/programme> on December 10, 11h10–11h45 CET.
