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

[Viktor Jirsa]

Dear colleagues, dear friends,

Please allow me to extend my best wishes to you and your families for 2026. 

I wish to draw your attention to the European call for contributions to the EBRAINS 10-Year Roadmap in digital neuroscience.  The call for contributions to the EBRAINS Roadmap aims to gather strategic input from the scientific, clinical, industrial, and policy communities to shape EBRAINS’ long-term vision, priorities, and services. It ensures that the roadmap reflects real user needs, emerging technologies, and societal impact, guiding EBRAINS’ evolution as a sustainable European research infrastructure. In this sense, your input will be critical. 

Please find the call information here below. 

Best regards,

Viktor



---------------------------------

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.
