EBRA Call for Cluster launched

The aim of EBRA is to foster new, and also extend existing transnational research cooperation of European countries, and to support coordination of research efforts. Therefore, the EBRA consortium is launching a Call for Clusters to promote co-operation and exchange between brain research projects and networks, and thus enable or enhance international collaboration and the emergence of development of clusters in all areas of brain research.

The EBRA call for cluster is an open call until 1 January 2021. There will be four submission deadlines, but proposals can be uploaded at any time in between. There will be a one-stage evaluation process for the submitted proposals shortly after the given submission deadline. Applications must be submitted in electronic format (in English) and must be submitted online via the electronic submission system.

The European Brain Research Area, or EBRA, is an EU project coordinated by the European Brain Council (EBC), which launched on 1 November 2018. EBRA was designed to respond to the Horizon 2020 call, SC1-HCO-10-2018, entitled “Coordinating European brain research and developing global initiatives” and will create a catalysing initiative for brain research stakeholders (researchers, clinicians, patients, governments, funders and public institutions) to streamline and better co-ordinate brain research across Europe while fostering global initiatives.
