description: Brain research has in recent years indisputably entered a new epoch, driven by substantial methodological advances and digitally enabled data integration and modeling at multiple scales – from molecules to the whole system. Major advances are emerging at the intersection of neuroscience with technology and computing. This new science of the brain integrates high-quality basic research, systematic data integration across multiple scales, a new culture of large-scale collaboration and translation into applications. A systematic approach, as pioneered in Europe's Human Brain Project (HBP), will be essential in meeting the pressing medical and technological challenges of the coming decade. The aims of this paper are

To develop a concept for the coming decade of digital brain research
To discuss it with the research community at large, with the aim of identifying points of convergence and common goals
To provide a scientific framework for current and future development of EBRAINS
To inform and engage stakeholders, funding organizations and research institutions regarding future digital brain research
To identify and address key ethical and societal issues
While we do not claim that there is a 'one size fits all' approach to addressing these aspects, we are convinced that discussions around the theme of digital brain research will help drive progress in the broader field of neuroscience.
