In what year was one of the Future and Emerging Technologies projects founded?
Blue Brain Project The Blue Brain, a Swiss national brain initiative, aims to create a digital reconstruction of the brain by reverse-engineering mammalian brain circuitry. The mission of the project, founded in May 2005 by the Brain and Mind Institute of the "École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne" (EPFL) in Switzerland, is to use biologically-detailed digital reconstructions and simulations of the mammalian brain (brain simulation) to identify the fundamental principles of brain structure and function in health and disease.
Altran Foundation for Innovation The Altran Foundation for Innovation is one of the key vehicles of the societal action of the group Altran Technologies. Since its creation in 1996, it promotes technological innovation for human benefit. Its action focuses on an international scientific competition with a new theme every year, rewarding leaders of innovative technology-oriented projects.
