EBRAINS welcomes POLIMI as new associate member

The membership will give POLIMI the opportunity to co-design future iterations of EBRAINS’ cutting-edge tools and services. These state-of-the-art capabilities – which cover data sharing, atlasing, modelling, simulation, high-performance computing, and neurorobotics – aim to help European researchers to address major challenges in brain health, benefiting from insights into data science, brain organization, and artificial intelligence gathered from the EU Flagship Human Brain Project.

The Politecnico di Milano is one of the best scientific-technological universities in the world, ranked 1st in Italy and among the world top universities in the three areas of specialization according to the QS World University Ranking: 8th in Design, 10th in Architecture and 18th in Engineering. 

Founded in 1863, Politecnico di Milano focuses on the quality and innovation of its teaching and research, promoting the culture of sustainable development and strengthening a fruitful relationship with business and productive world by means of experimental research and technological transfer.
