Project Summary
Modern neuroscience has reached a point where progress requires analyzing vast amounts of data, a skill not
traditionally provided to neuroscientists. At the same time, data scientists lack specialized training in
neuroscience, thereby lacking a significant perspective that influences the quality and depth of their insights. A
new academic trend where neuroscience is introduced as a separate educational track at the undergraduate level
further hinders the ripeness of specialists as their education lacks essential features.
These developments drive the pressing market demand for combined brain and data expertise in neurotech,
technological innovation, healthcare, and education. These conditions present a unique opportunity for
educational innovation in the form of an out-of-the-box educational pathway focusing on the intellectual mobility of
multidisciplinary scholars into the growing field of neuro-data science.
In modern science, breakthroughs often occur at the intersection of multiple disciplines. The proposed project
presents a highly needed yet lacking synergistic training program in brain and data sciences. It aims to develop
an integrated multidisciplinary curriculum in brain and data sciences to cultivate researchers with in-depth
knowledge in both fields. Students will be trained in foundational neuroscience and data science during the first
program year while applying these skills to analyze neural data during their second year.
Students will study and research in leading institutions and countries. This holistic approach to students’ training
will enable them to forge new mindsets and approaches while increasing individual contributions to a
knowledge-based economy and society. Introducing this program to European HEIs will create a new generation
of multidisciplinary scholars, highly skilled in investigating the most complex problem faced by the human race:
the human mind and brain in health and disease.
