Since Monday, 20 April 2026, the Institute of Neuroscience an Medicine (INM-1) has been presenting the Julich Brain Atlas and the digital research infrastructure EBRAINS at the Hannover Messe 2026. The presentations are part of the exhibition stand with which Forschungszentrum Jülich is showcasing itself at one of the world’s most important platforms for technologies of industrial transformation.
The Julich Brain Atlas is the first 3D atlas of the human brain to map the variability of brain structure at microscopic resolution. The atlas currently comprises around 230 maps and is a core component of EBRAINS, Europe’s digital research infrastructure for brain science. EBRAINS provides data, tools, and services for neuroscience, medicine, AI, and technology development. This unique platform brings together approaches from various research fields to accelerate progress in science and medicine.
The Hannover Messe is an ideal opportunity to make research visible to industry and policymakers and to initiate collaborations with partners from business and industry. This year, around 3,500 exhibitors, more than 300 start-ups, and over 120,000 visitors are expected.
