The NeurotechEU alliance has received a favorable report from the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO) for the launch of this new training program. The European Master's in Neurotechnology (EMN) will provide transdisciplinary training covering areas such as neuroscience, medicine, engineering, data science, and computing.
The program has been jointly designed by seven member universities of NeurotechEU. In addition to UMH, participating universities include Radboud Universiteit (Netherlands), Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn (Germany), Boğaziçi Üniversitesi (Turkey), Universitatea de Medicină și Farmacie din Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Université de Lille (France), and Háskólinn í Reykjavík (Iceland). With a curriculum of 120 ECTS, taught in English over two years, the program will promote academic mobility, challenge-based learning, and interaction with research and innovation environments.
According to Nick F. Ramsey, coordinator of the EMN Academic Program Board, students will benefit from bridging disciplines and European institutions to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in applied neurotechnologies. The program will explore areas such as Systems Neurobiology, Human Neurology and Cognition, Technology and Computing, and will address ethical and legal aspects for the responsible development of advanced technologies like brain-computer interfaces or AI-driven neurotechnologies.
This new program responds to the increasing demand for professionals capable of working transversally in neuroscience, healthcare, and emerging and digital technologies. By training a new generation of transdisciplinary and responsible professionals and innovators, the EMN not only advances healthcare and fosters technological progress but also strengthens Europe's leadership in brain and technology research.
