Welcome to the website of the research programme BRAIN-be 2.0 (Belgian Research Action through Interdisciplinary Networks).
- BRAIN-be 2.0 allows, through the funding of research projects based on scientific excellence and European and international anchorage, to meet the needs for scientific knowledge of the Belgian federal departments and to support the scientific potential of the Federal Scientific Institutions (FSI).
The framework programme BRAIN-be 2.0 is structured around 3 pillars:
Pillar 1: Challenges and knowledge of the living and non-living world
Pillar 2: Heritage science
Pillar 3: Federal societal challenges.
BRAIN-be 2.0 is open to the whole Belgian scientific community: universities, university colleges, public scientific institutions and non-profit research centres.
