About ETIC
ETIC - IRIN Training and Innovation Centre
ETIC is the Centre of the IRIN Research Infrastructure, located in Rome, and encompasses both physical, remote and virtual components. It is dedicated to fostering training and innovation in brain research, modeling, natural and artificial intelligence and neurorobotics. The training and innovation activities of IRIN are carried out by the CNR-ISTC (Institute for Cognitive Sciences and Technologies), an interdisciplinary Institute that fosters integration across laboratories and research areas.
ETIC Training: an ecology to support interdisciplinary learning
ETIC offers state-of-the-art training programs for researchers, professionals, and practitioners, combining rigorous scientific research with hands-on learning. These advanced educational pathways, delivered through both digital platforms and in-person sessions, ensure broad accessibility. The programs are built on the latest innovations in neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and autonomous robotics, providing participants with cutting-edge knowledge as well as practical experience to apply and refine their skills, empowering them to push the boundaries of their fields.
ETIC Innovation: an ecosystem for technology transfer and market readiness
ETIC is a physical and virtual place where cutting-edge research meets real-world applications, benefiting both the academic and industrial sectors. ETIC creates a dynamic ecosystem that bridges the gap between research and industry. By facilitating collaboration between research centres and companies, ETIC promotes the transfer of science-driven technological innovations to the market. ETIC acts as a catalyst for partnerships, encouraging meetings, workshops, and joint ventures that facilitates the development of innovations in brain science.
IRIN's PhDs
IRIN RI promotes doctoral programs trought projects with either academic or industrial relevance, connecting early-stage researchers with cutting-edge opportunities of brain research, AI, and robotics and, in general, in the neuroscience.
IRIN School in Computational Neuroscience and Neurorobotics
The IRIN School in Computational Neuroscience and Neurorobotics (ESCN) is a digital training initiative designed to empower researchers with skills in brain science, AI, and robotics. It is hosted by IRIN and delivered through high-quality online Modules. It is supported by the ETIC innovation centre and overseen by the ETHICo Committee to ensure scientific excellence.
