Rebecca Wade participates in the EU flagship ‘Human Brain Project‘ (HBP)
Prof. Rebecca Wade, head of the Molecular and Cellular Modeling (MCM) group at HITS, is a collaborator in the ‘Human Brain Project’, funded by the European Union. She will be part of a team, working on the Brain Simulation Platform, one of the six ICT-based research platforms. These will be created with the aim of catalyzing global collaboration in neuroscience, medicine and computing.
The ‘Human Brain Project’ is one of the two winners of the European Flagship Competition, the world’s largest funding program for research projects. The HBP brings together 250 researchers from 23 countries. The estimated total cost of this ten-year interdisciplinary project is 1.2 billion euros.
About HITS
HITS, the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, was established in 2010 by physicist and SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira (1940-2015) and the Klaus Tschira Foundation as a private, non-profit research institute. HITS conducts basic research in the natural, mathematical, and computer sciences. Major research directions include complex simulations across scales, making sense of data, and enabling science via computational research. Application areas range from molecular biology to astrophysics. An essential characteristic of the Institute is interdisciplinarity, implemented in numerous cross-group and cross-disciplinary projects. The base funding of HITS is provided by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
