Objectives and Description : The objective of this course is three-fold: (1) To teach the students concepts about musculoskeletal biomechanics and pathologies impeding human motion, mobile robotics and navigation, medical soft robotics and exoskeletons, wireless sensors, brain-computer interfaces and their applications. (2) To help students develop an entrepreneurial thinking a purposeful, ethical and responsible innovation approach, collaboration and discussion skills. (3) To give them the opportunity to experience working in a professional research center and create practical solutions to real-life challenges in the presence of professionals from R&D sector.
Methods and Outcomes : Self Preparation (pre-recorded lessons and reading materials), Teaching (virtual classes, face-to-face classes), Applied Work (face-to-face workshops and panel discussions).
This course jointly developed by Boğaziçi University, Université de Lille, Radboud University, Universidad Miguel Hernández and Reykjavik University covers the neurotechnology dimensions Neuromorphic Control/Neurorobotics, Neuroprosthetics and Clinical Neurotechnology, and aims at providing the course participants a translational neurotechnology innovation-based training as well as an entrepreneurial approach to solving problems. Besides, the transdisciplinarity concept is introduced in order to emphasize the importance of purposeful, ethical and responsible innovation. The instructors are academics from participating NeurotechEU partnering universities from various backgrounds and expertise as well as PIs from the industry. The course comprises online and in person lectures and in the physical phase, several workshops in the form of hands on trainings in a professional test center as well as discussion panels and Q&A sessions, which aims to bring future innovators and today’s experts together in the context of real-life challenges and cross-sectoral solution providing applications. At the end of the course, the students will have the opportunity to share their impressions of the course, their overview of the future directions this course may serve in their professional development and get feed-back from the faculty collectively

We are pleased to invite you to the interdisciplinary NeurotechEU Summer School "Neural Networks, Manipulation, and Ethics" at the University of Bonn, taking place 8-12 September 2025.
The program will explore the ethical, neuroscientific, and philosophical aspects of AI's impact on human autonomy, decision-making, and manipulation.
Key Topics:
- The distinction between manipulation, persuasion, and coercion
- Neural mechanisms of manipulation in both humans and AI
- Ethical implications of AI-human interaction
- Regulation and ethical AI implementation in various sectors
Format:
Participants will engage in keynote lectures, workshops, and an ideathon in collaboration with leading German companies in AI and neuroscience. Additionally, cultural events will offer insights into Bonn’s rich history.
Who can apply?
Masters and PhD students of the NeurotechEU alliance. Each university can send up to four participants. Students apply for participation at their home universities. The universities will then forward the names of the selected students to the University of Bonn.
Application Deadline: 31 May 2025; please send your nominations to: nfluethm@uni-bonn.de

This intensive blended learning course equips PhD researchers with the entrepreneurial mindset, skills, and tools to transform scientific discoveries into viable innovations. The course combines online pre-work with a hands-on, 5-day workshop series. Participants will explore the commercialization journey from ideation to market diffusion, navigate ethical and regulatory challenges, and develop compelling pitches for funders and stakeholders.
Through lectures, interactive workshops, peer collaboration, expert mentoring, and real-world case studies, researchers will learn how to identify opportunities, mobilize resources, and create value (financial, societal, and/or cultural).
Format: Blended mobility, online preparation, and 5 days on-site.
Target audience: PhDs and post-docs.
How to apply: Contact your local NeurotechEU team or the International Office.
