Understanding the mysteries of the human brain is one of the greatest challenges for scientists in the 21st century. Progress in this field promises to give humanity a new insight into what makes us who we are, enable new treatments for neurological conditions, and pave the way for revolutionary computing technologies. Today, IT and communication technology has brought us within arm’s reach of this vision in the European Human Brain Project.

The green energy revolution has firmly established offshore wind power as the backbone of renewable energy: Its many advantages – like the sheer wind yield out at sea – are often impacted by the costs of operating systems that can only be installed and serviced when the weather and the seasons allow.
