You are cordially invited to attend the 9th BigBrain Workshop, taking place in Berlin, Germany, on October 28 and 29, 2025.

This workshop has established itself as the annual meeting place for the BigBrain community to come together and present their latest research, discuss prospects of the BigBrain associated data and tools, and brainstorm on how to leverage high-performance computing and artificial intelligence better to create multimodal, multiresolution tools for the high-resolution BigBrain and related datasets.

The BigBrain Workshop will be held in conjunction with a Training Day, taking place as a full-day event on October 27, on-site at the conference venue. 

This year’s workshop also serves as the Closing Symposium of the Helmholtz International BigBrain Analytics and Learning Lab (HIBALL), highlighting the remarkable achievements of this transatlantic collaboration. To mark this special occasion, we will feature an exceptional lineup of distinguished speakers, not only to celebrate HIBALL’s success but also to explore the future of brain science, fostering discussions on innovative methods and applications in the field.

The HIBALL consortium, together with the BigBrain community, remains committed to advancing this extraordinary dataset, continually expanding the knowledge and technical infrastructure that underpins cutting-edge research in neuroscience and beyond.

Mark your calendars and plan to attend this exciting event in Berlin. We hope to see you there!

The event is free of charge but prior registration is required.
