The Human Brain Project’s unique goal is to interconnect computer science, medicine and neuroscience to accelerate the understanding of the human brain and its diseases, and to harness that knowledge to the benefit of society. To achieve this, the Project has built EBRAINS - the world’s first integrated ICT infrastructure for brain research and development, offering growing capabilities in neuroinformatics, brain simulation, medical informatics, neuromorphic computing and neurorobotics, underpinned by high-performance analytics and computing.

There will be a Brainhack hackathon Nov 21 (possibly also 22), in conjunction with INCFs CodeRefinery Workshop at KI, 19-21/11.

Dates: Thursday 21/11, late afternoon (17.00->) into night. Possible continuation on Saturday.
Location: KI Campus
Style: free for all, free snacks, pizza night.
Organizers: Malin Sandström (INCF), Lotta (INCF), Gustav Nilsonne (KI, SND).
