 & Management\nThe Swedish Swiss Chamber of Commerce (SSCC) in collaboratio
 n with the Human Brain Project (HBP) and Uppsala University are hosting an
  evening to understand and discuss the latest developments in neuroscience
 \, artificial intelligence\, medicine and robotics.\n\nWe are at the begin
 ning of the 4th industrial revolution with exponential development and int
 egration of digital technologies in artificial intelligence\, neuroscience
 s\, robotics\, big data and blockchain influencing more and more sectors s
 uch as health\, education\, finance\, security\, mobility as well as affec
 ting our everyday life. The Human Brain Project brings together more than 
 120 neuroscience and engineering research partner institutions from 19 Eur
 opean countries. The ambition is to create and operate a European research
  infrastructure for brain research\, cognitive neuroscience and organise d
 ata describing the brain and its diseases as well as simulate the brain. S
 ince 2015\, the HBP has supported interdisciplinary research and infrastru
 cture for neuroscience\, medical research\, neurorobotics\, mathematics\, 
 physics and neuromorphic computing. Uppsala University is a partner instit
 ution and lead one of the 12 sub-projects of the HBP.\nBehind every artifi
 cial intelligence (AI) device\, self-driving car\, self-learning robot and
  smart building\, hides a variety of advanced algorithms that control lear
 ning and decision making. Some of the mathematical models that make up the
  backbone of advanced automated systems are currently under construction b
 y researchers from Uppsala University and EPFL in Lausanne and Geneva.\nWe
  have invited senior researchers and industry leaders to discuss how we le
 arn from the brain to build robots and computers of tomorrow\, how to bett
 er understand and ultimately to treat diseases of the brain and how to int
 egrate neuroscience research data into computer models and simulations.\n\
