The EBRAINS Education and Coordination Team was present at the EBRAINS 2025 Summit. The Summit took place from 8 – 11 of December in Brussels, Belgium. With a strong focus on educational strategy, the team organised a PhD networking event and a session on neuroscience education.

The PhD event was aimed at early-career researched interested in neuroscience and interdisciplinary career paths. The speakers gave advice for completing a PhD and provided insight into post-PhD career options in both academia and industry. An AMA session and panel discussion followed featuring conversations about choosing research projects, working successfully with supervisors and future employment goals.
