Registration is free but mandatory and you can register for the Open Day here.
The Agenda for the Open Day 2020 includes a keynote on computation in the brain and a number of exciting panel discussions on brain initiatives around the world, research and data infrastructures, and Big Data and Computational Neuroscience.
At the Science Agora, you can learn about HBP research in neuroscience, robotics and computing, explore new brain research infrastructure EBRAINS and discover opportunities to collaborate and engage with HBP Education and training activities. Work of our Ethics Support team will be part of the Booth 8: Social, Ethical and Reflective.

Ethics Support @ HBP Summit 2020
The Open Day will be followed by the three-day long annual HBP Summit of the HBP consortium which brings together around 500 researchers from 132 universities, hospitals and research centres. These three days will be full with exciting talks, meetings and sessions about HBP research and infrastructure. Ethics Support team members will take part in many of these activities. In particular, we would like to highlight two parallel sessions on Wednesday, 5 February, which are open to all Summit participants:
- Parallel session 1 (9:00-9:40) Responsible Research and Innovation in the HBP and Data Protection which will focus on future RRI, ethics and data protection activities in the HBP
- Parallel session 5 (14:40-15:20) Responsible Dual Use of Neuroscience and Neurotechnology which is organised by the HBP Dual Use Working Group to discuss past and future dual use work in the HBP
