Project summary

The European University Alliance of Brain and Technology, NeurotechEU, envisions Neurotechnology as the next step in the deep tech revolution, or technology from the brain, for the brain, and with the brain. Our program's thematic focus is arranged along 8 dimensions providing strategic bridges between various disciplines, including neuroscience, medicine, engineering, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, robotics, social sciences, and the humanities. NeurotechEU constitutes the backbone of this vision by bringing together 8 leading universities across Europe and a significant amount of relevant associated partners, including partner research institutions, (SME) companies, societal stakeholders, and (non) governmental organisations, to create a unique educational environment where the next generation of European researchers and citizens can cooperate and work across different European and global cultures. Collectively we will enable deep institutional transformation by focusing on trans-European innovative learning processes grounded in the emergent field of Neurotechnology with its synergistic coupling of science, technology and application. We will create inclusive, wholistic, and comprehensive training programme in all eight NeurotechEU dimensions based on the NeurotechEU epistemic cycle and the knowledge square. This content-driven transformation will foster the next generation of multidisciplinary scientists and engineers by training them as integrators through the unique NeurotechEU pedagogical model, the complementarity of the partners and access to cutting-edge avant-garde infrastructure and training platforms. We will further advance and validate the initiative's sustainability and governance models. NeurotechEU is built on the common values and general principles of the European Union as laid down in the Bologna process, the Paris Communiqué, and the Magna Charta Universitatum, which are propagated through all activities.
