One is an American, a Big Data "wizard" and an old acquaintance of the conference public. Another comes from Poland and is known for leading one of the most prestigious brain research projects in the world. Martin Hilbert and Paweł Świeboda have joined the group of international speakers for the plenary sessions of the events that will take place between August 30 and September 2, again in virtual and free of charge format.

Świeboda is the General Director of the Human Brain Project (HBP), one of the world's largest research initiatives in the area of ​​brain sciences. He is also in charge of building a state-of-the-art research infrastructure for brain research: EBRAINS. Prior to his appointment to these roles, he was Deputy Director and Head of Research at the Center for European Political Strategy and later IDEA at the European Commission (EC).
