Fourth BigBrain Workshop and Launch of HIBALL

June 26, 2020 Virtual Meeting

On June 26th we officially launched HIBALL with the virtual 4th BigBrain Workshop. Our distinguished guests in the opening session spoke warmly and inspiringly about the collaboration between McGill’s Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital) and Forschungszentrum Jülich, and commended the exciting future developments of the BigBrain project.

Our guests at the opening session: Otmar Wiestler, President, Helmholtz Association, Germany; Sabine Sparwasser, German Ambassador to Canada; Martha Crago, Vice-Principal Research and Innovation, McGill University, and Chair of Board of Directors HBHL; Wolfgang Marquardt, CEO Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany; Rémi Quirion, Chief Scientist of Québec; Pawel Swieboda, Director General of HBP, and CEO EBRAINS

The scientific program was highly appreciated and time for discussion was well used by the audience. We thank our speakers for their valuable contributions and look forward to exciting developments around the BigBrain in the near future.
