After establishing the Brain Simulation Section at the Charité in 2017, we now have a brand-new website where you can find everything about our research, activities and many educational resources about brain simulation:
The Brain Simulation Section is leading a major new research initiative together with 17 European research partners, dubbed The VirtualBrainCloud: “Exploiting the full potential of in-silico medicine research for personalized diagnostics and therapies in cloud-based environments”.
This initiative is funded by [European Commission's Horizon2020 program](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/
The Virtual Brain, one of the leading open source neuroscience platforms is celebrating its 10,000th download!
