The European flagship Human Brain Project (HBP) is nearing its end in September 2023, 10 years after its launch. The final HBP Summit will be an opportunity to showcase the scientific achievements of the project, at the interface of neuroscience and technology, and its legacy to the human brain research community.
Scientific presentations of cutting-edge research
The latest European advances in neuroscience and its medical applications as well as brain-derived technologies will be presented. HBP researchers will present their numerous research results and highly integrative, technology and data-driven brain studies. The summit will include talks, panel discussions, poster presentations, and numerous networking opportunities.Meet leading scientists at the press conference
In addition to the scientific program, the summit will feature a press conference with a panel of leading BPH researchers. The panelists will discuss the key scientific and technological advances brought by the project and answer questions from journalists.The press conference will be held in English only. It will be followed by a reception for the media.
