From July 1st. A new name. A new logo. The same mission, with an even stronger vision.
After more than 30 months of collaboration involving 16 institutions and 23 Operational Units across Italy, EBRAINS-Italy RI is evolving into IRIN – the Italian Research Infrastructure for Neuroscience.
This transformation is much more than a rebranding. It marks the transition from a PNRR-funded project to a permanent national research infrastructure, strengthening IRIN's role as Italy's reference infrastructure for neuroscience research and innovation.
Our new logo reflects this evolution. While preserving the values that have guided us from the very beginning, it better represents who we are today: an open, collaborative, and forward-looking infrastructure serving the scientific, clinical, and industrial communities.
IRIN provides researchers with integrated access to cutting-edge laboratories, experimental datasets, advanced computational models, HPC and cloud resources, as well as a dedicated Education, Training and Innovation Centre (ETIC). By fostering collaboration and enabling access to world-class research services, IRIN aims to accelerate discoveries in brain research and life sciences.
The new identity also reflects our growing role within the European ecosystem. As a member of the Innovation Board and Joint Research Unit (JRU) of the Italian EBRAINS node, and with EBRAINS moving towards becoming a European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC), IRIN is strengthening its mission to advance health, neuroscience, and life science research.
Changing to Grow is more than our new tagline—it's our commitment.
By embracing a new identity, we reaffirm our ambition to build a stronger, more recognizable, and future-oriented research infrastructure that empowers scientific excellence, innovation, and collaboration.
EBRAINS-Italy project has evolved. IRIN is growing. Together, we are shaping the future of neuroscience research.
Stay tuned!
