EU Projects
 | EuroSPIN - European Study Program In Neuroinformatics - is a research and training network funded by the Erasmus Mundus Action of the European Union. Besides the BCF, EuroSPIN is carried out in universities in Sweden, Edinburgh and Bangalore. It combines neuroscience and informatics research to develop and apply computational tools and approaches that are essential for understanding the structure and function of the brain. |
| NeuroTime - Neural processing of time - is a research and training network funded by the Erasmus Mundus Action of the European Union. Besides the BCF, NeuroTime is carried out in collaboration with universities and research centers in France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Israel and India. PhD candidates with a top quality international training in multidisplinary neuroscience contribute to the investigation of time processing, which is lying at the heart of brain function & dysfunction. The training provided by our program integrates developmental, molecular, cellular & behavioral neuroscience, chronobiology, computational neuroscience & neurotechnology.

| FACETS-ITN (Fast Analog Computing with Emergent Transient States) is a research and training network funded by the Marie Curie Action “Initial Training Networks” of the European Union. FACETS-ITN involves 15 groups and research centers and industrial partners in Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Sweden and Switzerland. It combines competencies in neurobiology, computational neuroscience, information science, physics and electrical engineering. The scientific goal is to experimentally and theoretically explore the structure and the computational principles of biological neural circuits using in vitro and in vivo neurobiological experiments as well as analytical approaches, mathematical modeling and numerical simulation techniques. The concepts of learning and plasticity is of particular importance. Based on the input from biology and modeling, it prepares the ground for novel hardware based computing devices that make use of such principles.

| NAMASEN-ITN (Neuroelectronics and nanotechnology: towards a Multidisciplinary Approach for the Science and Engineering of Neuronal Networks) is a reserach and training network, funded by the Marie Curie Action “Initial Training Networks” of the European Union. Namasen consists of 12 partners, located in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Israel and Greece and of one associated industrial partner from Switzerland. Its mission is to lay the foundation of a virtual scientific institute for the multi-disciplinary study of Neuroengineering and Network-Neurosciences that trains a new generation of scientists and professionals and that contributes to Europe’s leading role in scientific innovation. It deals with Neuroelectronics and Nanotechnology, as a ground towards a Multidisciplinary Approach for the Science and Engineering of Neuronal Networks. NAMASEN targets both technological and scientific priorities, such as the development of novel multi-electrode arrays and advanced interfaces that functionally interact with neurons and networks.
