Webinar: Using HPC infrastructure to enable and boost brain research and brain-inspired technologies November 2025
In November, EBRAINS hosted the webinar "Using HPC infrastructure to enable and boost brain research and brain-inspired technologies"
The team at Helmholtz AI presented a set of use cases that leverage High Performance Computing to solve problems in brain research and brain-inspired technology development.
AI is allowing researchers to better model the brain and its components.

Upcoming Events
2026 Computational Cell Types Workshop
In this hackathon-style workshop, attendees will be introduced to single cell- and spatial transcriptomic datasets from the Allen Institute and their collaborators, while working in teams to use these datasets for data analysis, tool creation, model development, and more.
Each team will formulate a project idea and present their results at the end of the workshop. Python experience is required. Travel cost support is available.
A Few Extra Notes…
The European Journal of Neuroscience (EJN) has an open call for papers on Freezing of Gait. The submission deadline is 30 January 2026. More information here.
