THE FUTURE OF AI COMPUTING
Neuromorphic Computing Technology (NCT) embraces technologies that enable brain-inspired computing hardware leading to more efficient, fast, and adaptive intelligent systems. NCT community builds hardware inspired by biological neural systems using digital and analogue CMOS technologies, memristive devices, photonics, spintronics, and other nano-technological solutions. This technology will revolutionise the field of Artificial Intelligence, since it provides orders of magnitude more power-efficient real-time computing platforms for embedded cognitive processing.
NEUROTECH CSA project aims to create and lead NCT community in Europe. Our mission is to catalyse research and collaboration in NCT. Today's neuromorphic community in Europe is leading the state of the art in this domain. The community counts an increasing number of labs that work on theory, modelling, and implementation of neuromorphic computing systems. The NEUROTECH Project will create a Cartography of NCT in Europe, explore Roadmaps for its development, collect educational and information resources on NCT, inform about upcoming and previous events.
Develop links between Academic Labs and Industry
We aim to enable the uptake of NCT in real-world applications and to match the needs of companies that develop future products with research and technology development. The envisioned applications are in smart industry, health-care, intelligent assistive systems, cognitive robotics, and consumer devices. We aim to create a sustainable communication channel between research labs, industry, general public, and other stakeholders.
Provide access to educational resources
NEUROTECH project assembles and curates a collection of educational resources on all aspects of NCT, to promote core educational events on NCT, and to disseminate NCT curriculum to other communities. The current list of available educational resources can be found in the Blog section. It includes video recordings of lectures, courses at selected Universities, and talk series.
NCT comprises hardware electronic systems that exploit the physics of their devices to directly emulate the properties of biological neurons and synapses, and uses them to build computational primitives that use the same organizing principles (in space and time) used by the brain.
