Abstract: These are exciting times in neuroscience research. Over the past decade, owing in large part to substantial technological innovation, the field of neuroscience has expanded massively, tackling complex topics with profound policy and social implications. These new scientific advances promise fundamental insight into the organisation and function of the brain, and potentially the treatment of mental and neurological disorders, while capturing the imagination of the general public. On Nov 29, 2016, opportunities and challenges in brain research were discussed in a workshop in the European Parliament, in which three of the world's leading brain research initiatives, from the European Union (EU), the USA, and Japan, were presented.The Human Brain Project (HBP), launched in 2013, is a 10-year multinational European initiative in the framework of the EU's Horizon 2020 research programme. The project is one of the first two Future and Emerging Technologies Flagship projects, developed by the EU to underwrite long-term research and innovation efforts. The primary objective of the HBP is to build a European infrastructure for brain research, medicine, and information technology. The underlying idea of the HBP infrastructure is to harness a comprehensive toolbox of the most advanced information technologies, including cloud-based collaboration and development platforms, with databases for metadata and provenance tracking, data analytics, robotics, simulation, medical and neuroinformatics, and computing infrastructure and services, including leading-edge supercomputers and neuromorphic systems.
