Abstract: Description of the general focus of the symposiumEBRAINS is a European research infrastructure dedicated to advancing brain science by providing access to essential data, simulation tools, workflows, and computing resources. It fosters scalable, reproducible, and FAIR-compliant research. During this symposium, we’ll outline how EBRAINS assists users in designing, integrating, and deploying scientific workflows, illustrated by real-world use cases and examples. This approach encourages collaboration between tool developers and scientists to co-design solutions for reproducible deployment.We will also give the participants the keys for knowing when to transition your workflow to high-performance computing (HPC), when it’s more effective to remain local or use a cloud-based solution, and the benefits of each option. Participants will gain insight into the available simulation engines (like TVB and NEST), data tools, and computing backends. We’ll share concrete examples of workflows leveraging HPC for large-scale brain simulations and present tools for monitoring, logging, and automating these processes.EBRAINS also facilitates connections among researchers through community-driven showcases, user groups, support channels, and co-design meetings. This session aims to offer not merely a demonstration of our tools, but also a roadmap for how to get involved, seek support, and thrive within the EBRAINS ecosystem. For students, this is a valuable chance to learn how to standardize approaches to complex workflows, ensure reproducibility, and collaborate effectively within a shared infrastructure that scales with your research aspirations.The primary goal of this symposium is to clearly illustrate how EBRAINS supports the standardization of scientific workflows, integrates with high-performance computing (HPC), and enhances reproducibility in research. We will explain how workflows are formalized and share the criteria necessary for scaling them effectively. Additionally, we will showcase selected use cases that highlight how EBRAINS resources have been successfully utilized. This session aims to provide young neuroscience researchers with tangible examples of how research translates into operational infrastructure, outlining the journey from researcher needs to established pipelines, while emphasizing the vital roles of co-design, liaison support, and DevOps practices. By the end of the symposium, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how EBRAINS can serve not just as a suite of services but as a robust technical foundation for scalable, collaborative brain research.
