To develop new diagnostics and therapies it is necessary to get deeper insights into brain organisation. The Human Brain Project unites researchers and scientists from multiple fields to decode the relationship between brain structure and function and its role in disease with the help of highly advanced ICT tools. Therefore the HBP is developing <a href="https://ebrains.eu/discover/" class="">EBRAINS</a> a digital research infrastructure and open source platform that allows scientists to seamlessly collaborate to analyze data of healthy subjects and patients to explore them in the Human Brain Atlas and to share data and tools. This allows accelerating advancements in the fields of brain research and brain-related medicine.</span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin: 0cm;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Helvetica;" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">HBP and EBRAINS together with the <a href="https://lsmuni.lt/en/" class="">Lithuanian University of Health Science</a> invite the entire scientific community in particular early career researchers to join the forthcoming Young Researchers Event 2021.
