Charité Universitätsmedizin - Germany

The CHARITE is Europe´s largest University Hospital that combines leadership experience a strong track record for development of innovative technologies and combining science with outreach projects to engage public.

Petra Ritter serves as the director of the Section for Brain Simulation. This group has been at the forefront of network-based brain simulation, computational neuroscience and its clinical application for more than 10 years. In collaboration with other international research centers, the team led by Professor Ritter has developed a way to simulate a brain of an individual person or patient with reduced complexity but feasible, sufficiently accurate, scalable and already used in practical clinical applications. Professor Ritter’s group employs state-of-the art software engineering methods for developing tools for data processing, analysis and visualization.

Charite subcontracted Indoc for technical coordination from March 2020 to Feb 2022.

Aix-Marseilles University Aix en Provence & Marseilles, France

The Institut de Neurosciences des Systèmes is a multidisciplinary research institute located in Marseille. The core faculty is composed of members of academic and clinical institutions. The research has been developed around a common concept, the dynamic brain, integrating experimental, theoretical and clinical approaches towards the understanding of brain function and dysfunction.

The Theoretical Neuroscience group led by Viktor Jirsa aims to uncover the mechanisms underlying the spatiotemporal organization of large-scale brain networks in physiology including aging and disease with a particular interest in epilepsy and neurodegenerative diseases.

Institut de Cerveau et de la Moelle Epinière - France

The Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle épiniere (ICM) is an international brain and spinal cord research center whose innovative concept and structure make it the only institute of its kind in the world. The institute brings patients, doctors and researchers together with the aim to rapidly develop treatments for disorders of the nervous system and enable patients to benefit from them as quickly as possible. Its teams carry out cutting-edge research on cellular and experimental models, neuroimaging & behavioral neuroscience, as well as data analysis. Being involved in several cohorts of patients allows the ICM to perform proeficient translational research.

The ARAMIS Lab is one of the leading teams in Europe for the modelling of neurodegenerative diseases. It has proposed original approaches for building brain models by the integration of multimodal data sets combining information from clinical, imaging and genomic data. The team has a strong expertise in imaging science, network theory, statistical and machine learning, and mathematical modelling. It has developed new computational approaches for modelling brain structure and function and has applied them in a large array of clinical studies, and in particular in the field of neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis).

University of Helsinki, Finland

The Neuroscience Center (NC) is an independent research and teaching institute at the University of Helsinki.

The Palva-Lab has made pioneering contributions in the fields of electrophysiological human brain connectomics and characterization of complex spatio-temporal brain dynamics. The Palva team has an extensive track record for using source-reconstructed MEG/EEG analyses of connectivity and dynamics to uncover the mechanistic roles in cognitive functions. The group has studied the roles of dysconnectivity and dysdynamics in brain disorders such as schizophrenia, epilepsy, depression, and anxiety.

University of Vienna, Austria

The Department of Innovation and Digitalisation in Law, being part of University's of Vienna School of Law, was founded in October 2017 to face new legal questions and challenges in the 21st century. The department deals with legal questions surrounding IT/IP law from a European perspective, with an emphasis on data protection and data security law. The head of the department is Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Forgó, a full professor of Intellectual Property and technology law, whose objectives, among others, are to stratify, bundle and foster the existing research initiatives on digitalisation and IT at the law school. One important focus is the participation in third-party funded legal research, especially EU-founded projects.

The Department of Innovation and Digitalisation in Law will serve as single point of contact for all internal and external stakeholders on legal and ethical issues.
