Ten Projects Receive Support under the NeurotechEU Collaboration Funding Call
Ten joint projects from across the NeurotechEU alliance have been selected for support under the NeurotechEU Collaboration Funding Call.
The call, opened in March 2026, invited academics, educators and professional staff from partner institutions to propose initiatives that advance the alliance's mission of reshaping higher education in brain research and neurotechnology. Proposals were assessed on educational quality, interdisciplinary reach, mobility, and the prospect of becoming lasting parts of the alliance's teaching portfolio. Ten projects were selected for their broad, interdisciplinary approach to education. Together, the projects will produce new courses, training programs, and shared educational resources, drawing on complementary expertise from different institutions and disciplines. They will strengthen teaching in neurotechnology across areas such as neuroimaging, sleep technology, addiction research, brain organoids, microsurgery, healthy ageing, digital learning environments, and support for carers of people living with neurodegenerative diseases.
