The HEREDITARY project is featured in the latest episode of Brain Talks, the podcast series by Brain Innovation Days, which brings together leading voices in brain research and innovation. Each episode provides a window into the latest developments in brain science, from research breakthroughs and technological advances to regulatory topics and patient engagement. In this recently released episode, HEREDITARY takes center stage to explore the role of trustworthy AI in transforming brain science.
HEREDITARY on Air
In episode 8 of the fourth season, HEREDITARY is featured in a compelling discussion on the key areas of the project, such as AI, advanced analytics, multimodal health data, data privacy and security. Hosted by Sam Pauly, the episode features Elisabetta Biasin, Researcher in the HEREDITARY Project at KU Leuven Centre for IT & IP Law (CiTiP) and Helena Ledmyr, Director at International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF).
In the episode, they reflect on HEREDITARY’s ambition to harness AI and multimodal health data in an innovative, responsible and transparent way. The conversation explains the legal and ethical dimensions of data use, the importance of earning public trust, and how projects like HEREDITARY can help position Europe as a leader in citizen-centered brain research. They discuss the technical, legal and behavioral challenges that come with using sensitive health data, supporting the role of emerging European frameworks such as the European Health Data Space, which seeks to promote secure and ethical data sharing across the EU.

HEREDITARY at the Brain Innovation Days 2025: Join Us at Our World Café
The podcast episode is a preview of HEREDITARY’s wider participation in the Brain Innovation Days 2025, where the project will host an interactive World Café session. This engaging format will allow attendees to explore HEREDITARY’s approach to responsible AI, discuss ethical and legal considerations in data-driven neuroscience, and connect with project partners from across Europe.
Join us in Brussels this October to discover how HEREDITARY is shaping the future of brain research through responsible innovation.
The Brain Innovation Days 2025
The Brain Innovation Days is an annual event organized by the European Brain Council, designed to address some of the most pressing challenges in brain health. With neurological and mental disorders affecting more than one billion people globally (and innovation in the field often underfunded) the Brain Innovation Days aims to foster dialogue, collaboration, and investment among researchers, policymakers, industry leaders and patients.
The next edition of the event will take place on 15–16 October 2025 at La Tricoterie in Brussels, serving as a dynamic platform for bringing the brain ecosystem together to exchange knowledge and accelerate investment in research and innovation.
