About
The Swedish national node, EBRAINS Sweden, is a consortium consisting of the Royal Institute of technology – KTH (chair), Karolinska Insititute, Stockholm University, Mid Sweden University, and Umeå University.
The aim of EBRAINS Sweden is to maximize the benefits of EBRAINS for national researchers and other national professionals, as well as to encourage and stimulate the national communities to actively use and contribute to the services provided. EBRAINS Sweden will endeavour to lower the threshold for national researchers and professionals to start engaging with the services offered and to promote new services that could be incorporated into the research infrastructure.
To achieve this, EBRAINS Sweden will actively work with creating and strengthening national communities such as SWEBAGS – the Swedish Basal Ganglia Society – and arrange workshops, symposiums, and training events based on the services offered by EBRAINS now and in the future.
EBRAINS EDIC process
In May 2026, the Swedish Agency for Digital Government, DIGG, issued a Letter of Intent enabling EBRAINS Sweden, through Professor Jeanette Hellgren-Kotaleski at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in her role as Swedish Node Leader, to represent Sweden in the preparatory working group for a potential EBRAINS European Digital Infrastructure Consortium, EDIC.
The Letter of Intent documents Sweden’s participation in the preparatory phase of a potential EBRAINS EDIC application. Through this role, EBRAINS Sweden can contribute to the development of draft statutes, technical descriptions and application material, and participate in non-binding votes within the working group.
Participation in the working group does not constitute a formal decision for Sweden to join a future EBRAINS EDIC. Any final decision on Swedish participation, including financial or legal commitments, would be taken later through the appropriate Swedish national decision-making process.
