The key technology building blocks are there, the first 5G standard has been adopted and proof of concept has started. But standardisation work needs to continue based on the latest R&D results. The second phase of the public private partnership on 5G (5G PPP) will be important to master 5G technologies and look into their applications with relevant users like vertical industries.

Using graphene to tear down another digital communication boundary

Currently, electronic communication happens when optical fibres transmit messages from one device to another by a system of digital impulses travelling at light speed across the world. But what if not just a simple message, but a question, could be submitted at one end and the answer came out at the other? That could be one of many beneficial outcomes if the GRASP project succeeded in their search for technology allowing for computing with light instead of electricity.

European research in brain science and in supercomputing are progressing, on each side, at a fast pace. As neuroscientists need more and more access to high-end computing capacities, a new partnership will deepen the links between the two fields, paving the way for novel insights into basic brain function and to new approaches to treating and diagnosing brain disorders. Interestingly, new findings in neuroscience promise in return technological advancements that will increase the versatility and performance of supercomputers. Katrin Amunts, Scientific Director of the Human Brain Project and Jean-François Buggenhout, Head of the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Flagships Unit at the European Commission, share with you their views on the promising alliance of European Neuroscience and High Performance Computing.
