The Hector Fellow Academy is a young science academy. It offers the recipients of the Hector Science Award a platform for networking, interdisciplinary exchange and mutual inspiration. With the Hector Research Career Development Award, it supports scientists on their way to a professorship. In addition, it supports promising young scientists. Professor Amunts is a member of the Academy since 2022.

EBRAINS is a new digital research infrastructure created as part of the EU-funded Human Brain Project (HBP). The aim is to promote brain research and the translation of scientific findings in this field into brain-inspired innovations in computing, medicine and industry. To this end, multidisciplinary neuroscience works closely with the developers of state-of-the-art information technologies and uses powerful computers to assemble the ever-growing knowledge about the brain from different research fields. With EBRAINS, the HBP is establishing the hub for this cooperation in Europe.
