EBRA is pleased to announced the final two clusters selected in January 2021:

Predictive Model Systems Cluster

The primary objective of the Predictive Model Systems (PREMOS) cluster is to enhance the alignment of EU disease model development resources and preclinical research expertise with clinical and brain research community needs across academia and industry.

European Cluster for Imaging Biomarkers

The European Cluster for Imaging Biomarkers (ECIB) forges a complimentary and synergetic harmonization […]

The EBRA project was created in 2018 to bring together members that share the common goal of enhancing coordination and collaboration among brain related projects and initiatives, to address gaps and enable the translation of breakthroughs.

There was, and still is, a consensus on the need for the promotion of an inclusive approach to brain research, enhancing productive collaboration among European and international brain initiatives and proposing the generation of a shared strategic brain research agenda. […]

The bi-annual Federation of European Neuroscience Society (FENS) Forum, the largest international neuroscience meeting in Europe, was held on 11-15 July 2020. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the FENS Forum was held entirely virtually, making it accessible from all over the world and giving access to all sessions, lectures, events and the exhibition hall up to three months afterwards.
