Abstract Neuroscience education is challenged by rapidly evolving technology and the development of interdisciplinary approaches for brain research. The Human Brain Project (HBP) Education Programme aimed to address need expertise in research equipping a new generation researchers with skills across neuroscience, medicine, information technology. Over its ten year duration, programme engaged over 1,300 experts attracted more than 5,500 participants from various scientific disciplines blended learning curriculum, specialised schools workshops, events fostering dialogue among early-career researchers. Key principles programme’s approach included interdisciplinarity, adaptability landscape infrastructure, collaborative environment focus on empowering Following conclusion, we provide here an analysis in-depth view diverse range educational formats events. Our results show that achieved success wide geographic reach, diversity participants, establishment transversal collaborations. Building these experiences achievements, describe how leveraging digital tools platforms provides accessible highly training, which can enhance existing programmes next working decentralised European spaces. Finally, present lessons learnt so similar initiatives may improve upon our experience incorporate suggestions into their own programme.
