At #EICSummit2026, Prof. Amunts @ebrains Joint CEO highlighted how Europe's investment in frontier research creates lasting impact.
From neuromorphic computing with SpiNNaker, to personalised epilepsy surgery enabled by The Virtual Brain, to brainfm running on Europe's 1st exascale supercomputer JUPITER, and NEST Simulator joining the SPEC CPU 2026 benchmark suite.
These examples show how breakthrough science evolves into technologies with real-world impact.
What does Neuroscience Education need?
The EBRAINS Education Team and Education Task Force share key insights from the Landscape Survey, based on 315 responses from educators, trainees and tool developers.
Digital neuroscience education is in high demand, but barriers like limited resources, inconsistent tool accessibility, and institutional flexibility persist. Programming, data analysis, and hands-on training top the needs list for trainees.

In early May 2026, the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation released a new, updated benchmark suite—the first since 2017—that reflects modern, compute-intensive workloads typical of today’s real-world software.
NEST is included in the updated benchmark suite as scientific simulation software because it represents complex, compute-intensive workloads characteristic of modern server and workstation architectures.

Last week in Munich, the EBRAINS Roadmap Symposium brought together more than 160 researchers, clinicians, infrastructure experts, patient association representatives, members of the private sector, and policymakers 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.
Take a look at our aftermovie of the event below!
We are looking forward to the International Public Summit: Transforming Healthcare with Trusted AI, Robotics and Data on 9 June!
Join us for a high-level event in Berlin exploring how European infrastructures are enabling the testing, validation, and deployment of trustworthy healthcare technologies.
The event is co-organised by two projects that EBRAINS is involved in - TEF-Health and eBRAIN-Health.

More than 160 researchers, clinicians, infrastructure experts, patient associations, the private sector as well as policymakers from 24 countries gathered in Munich on 21–22 May for the EBRAINS Roadmap Symposium, a milestone in shaping the EBRAINS Roadmap 2026–2036 and the future direction of European digital neuroscience.
The EU-funded SciLake project has now concluded its three-year mission to make scientific knowledge easier to discover, connect and reuse.
As part of this Europe-wide effort, EBRAINS contributed to the neuroscience pilot, helping demonstrate how advanced, domain-specific knowledge graphs can support better navigation of complex research fields.
EBRAINS has released the Roadmap 2026–2036 community contributions ahead of the Strategy Symposium taking place in Munich on 21-22 May 2026.
The published volume brings together 139 accepted proposals from across 27 countries and the wider European digital neuroscience community, as a result of a broad bottom-up consultation launched in November 2025.
