SHAPING THE FUTURE OF BCI
Every breakthrough in neurotechnology starts with understanding the brain. From high-quality EEG acquisition to real-time signal processing, brain-computer interfaces, AI, and clinical applications, the BCI & Neurotechnology Spring School 2027 provides the knowledge and practical skills needed to turn neuroscience into real-world innovation.
Join a global community of participants from more than 140+ countries to learn from leading experts, discover the latest technologies, and help shape the next generation of brain-computer interfaces and neurotechnology.
A GLOBAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE
The BCI & Neurotechnology Spring School 2027 builds on the success of last year’s worldwide network of participating institutions. In 2026, the Spring School was supported by:
🏛 62 Official Hosts
🎥 22 Live Viewing Hubs
💡 17 BR41N.IO Hackathon Hosts
🌍 90,000 participants worldwide
In 2027, universities, research institutions, hospitals, and companies are invited to become part of this global initiative by hosting local events, integrating the Spring School into their curriculum, or joining the international BR41N.IO Hackathon network.
SETTING THE VISION OF THE SPRING SCHOOL
It’s quite amusing that we’re orchestrating the world’s largest neurotech event from Schiedlberg, a place where rabbits outnumber humans. Participants will access 140 hours of cutting-edge education, earning 14 credits and an exam certificate at no cost—an invaluable alternative to the typical $50,000 USD expense at prestigious universities. The potential value of our event, calculated at 90,816 attendees multiplied by $50,000 USD, amounts to a staggering $4,540,800,000 USD. We’re thrilled to offer this opportunity to individuals worldwide, free of charge.

OFFICIAL HOST
Official Hosts are universities, research labs, and institutions that act as local academic nodes of the BCI & Neurotechnology Spring School. They gain academic recognition, visibility on the website and a Host Certificate with minimal organizational effort and no requirement to organize events or provide speakers.
Shared on-site learning within the global Spring School
LIVE VIEWING HUB
Live Viewing Hubs allow groups of students and researchers to take part in the Spring School together at a local venue while following the live online program. Institutions receive official recognition, visibility on the Spring School website, enabling a high-quality, collaborative learning experience with very low organizational effort.
Academic integration through local accreditation
CREDIT GRANTING UNIVERSITIES
Universities worldwide integrate the BCI & Neurotechnology Spring School into their curricula by awarding local academic credits in accordance with their own regulations. While the Spring School itself does not grant credits, g.tec supports institutions with defined learning objectives, a detailed program structure, a final exam, and attendance certification.
From knowledge to hands-on innovation
HACKATHON HOSTS
Hackathon Hosts turn Spring School knowledge into hands-on innovation. Only Unicorn Education Kit owners who participate with teams in the Spring School Hackathon can become Hackathon Hosts. By combining live Spring School sessions with teamwork and mentoring, hosts gain international visibility and official recognition.
