Building Scalable Workflows for Brain Science – A Hands-on Introduction to EBRAINS

As part of the Neuronus 2026 conference, Sano Centre for Computational Medicine co-hosts a special workshop day dedicated to cutting-edge computational tools and methods in neuroscience and biomedicine. The event will take place on Thursday, 23 April 2026, at the Sano headquarters in Kraków.

Neuroscience through EBRAINS Research Infrastructure – expand your research though Workflows, and High-Performance Computing  

In this workshop, participants will explore the possibilities offered by the European EBRAINS research infrastructure – a flagship platform (organization) for international collaboration in brain science that provides access to data, simulation tools, workflows, and high-performance computing resources. You will learn how EBRAINS supports open, reproducible and FAIR-compliant neuroscience, and how its ecosystem can be integrated into real research projects, from data organization to large-scale brain simulations. 

The speakers will discuss different strategies for running computational workflows – from local processing on a lab computer, through cloud-based setups, to advanced HPC clusters – and when each option makes the most sense for your project. Using examples of simulation engines such as The Virtual Brain (TVB) and NEST, they will show how to design and execute workflows, automate routine steps, and monitor complex jobs in a transparent, collaborative way.

Registration for this workshop series will open soon. Please stay tuned for updates on the Neuronus conference page: neuronusforum.pl
