Why Focus on Neuroscience and Technology?
NeurotechEU plays a pivotal role in addressing one of the most urgent challenges facing the world today: the consequences of brain injuries and neurological diseases.
Key Objectives
The partnership aims to develop solutions that benefit society as a whole. These challenges include:
- Advancing Research: To improve prevention, diagnostics, and treatments for neurological diseases and brain-related issues.
- Understanding Complexity: Exploring the intricate relationship between the brain, behaviour, and the environment to create new technological solutions.
- Societal Impact: Developing innovative tools and systems for educational institutions, businesses, hospitals, and even entire urban communities.
Brain-Centered Solutions for Society
The application of neuroscience holds great promise, particularly in creating what can be termed "brain-centred" solutions.
These innovations:
- Benefit society by addressing critical needs.
- Drive breakthroughs that stimulate innovation across industries.
- Contribute to the growth and resilience of the European economy.
NeurotechEU is designed to serve as a cornerstone for this vision, advancing neuroscience and technology to foster innovation, improve quality of life, and strengthen Europe’s position as a global leader in research and development.
