will be participating in the following sessions during the EBRAINS Summit 2025.

Medical data for enabling progress in healthcare in Europe and beyond

Taking place in the:

This panel, co-organised by EBRAINS and the INCF, will explore the key role of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) medical data in advancing healthcare research and innovation. With contributions from experts in neuroscience and data infrastructure, the discussion will highlight the importance of collaborative frameworks and digital platforms – such as EBRAINS – that facilitate data sharing, integration and reuse across national and disciplinary boundaries. Focus will be placed on how curated, high-quality datasets can drive scientific advances and clinical translation in brain health.
