About the Event
The Human Brain Project Summit 2023 provides an open forum for hundreds of researchers, plus policy makers, media and public, to discuss exciting scientific results, the latest developments in the project, and the cutting-edge services and tools available on the EBRAINS Research Infrastructure. It represents a great opportunity to share the latest developments of the Human Brain Project with the community and external audiences and it is meant to be a valuable moment of exchange, discussion, and feedback.
The Summit will take place in Marseille, France, from 28–31 March 2023.
Call for Submissions
The Summit Programme Committee invites the Human Brain Project members, collaborators and researchers interested in open neuroscience, to submit high quality abstracts to the Human Brain Project Summit 2023. Poster abstract acceptance will be strictly based on scientific content and infrastructure relevance. Abstracts which are unethical, incomplete, or contain insufficient data will not be accepted. Experimental reports should include relevant data such as number of subjects studied or statistical information, as appropriate. Posters should provide a positive learning experience for all attendees.
The selection committee will award a prize to the two best abstracts in two categories. (I) Neuroscientific and medical research, (II) Methodological developments and technology. The winners will have the opportunity to present their research to the audience of the Summit in a 10-minute plenary talk.

Abstract Submission Guidelines
- Abstracts should be submitted only if convincing results have already been obtained. Figures and tables showing results are helpful to the reader. If the abstract focuses on a software tool, it must present a novel tool, features, or application.
- Please include sufficient detail in your methods and results sections to enable Readers to gain a clear understanding of what data have been collected and what results have been observed. For example, where appropriate please include information on data acquisition, data processing, quantitative results and statistics, etc. Specifically, if the study involves data from human or non-human subjects, the number of tested subjects and their demographics (sex, age) should be reported. When reporting results, effect sizes should be included wherever possible.
- Please accurately include all co-authors and their affiliations. If in doubt whether a person’s contributions should or should not be considered as authorship, please refer to http://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf.
