The STRATUM Project Wins Best Poster Award at the Brain Innovation Days in Brussels

STRATUM has been honoured with the Best Poster Award at the 4th edition of the Brain Innovation Days. This event, organized by the European Brain Council, took place on November 13 and 14, 2024, in Brussels, Belgium, under the theme "Navigating the Brain Throughout Life." The European Brain Council is a network of key stakeholders in brain research, including scientific societies, patient organizations, professional associations, and industry partners.

Over two days, the conference brought together leading researchers, professionals, and industry leaders to explore advancements in neuroscience. The program featured plenary sessions, inspiring talks, poster presentations, cutting-edge innovations in brain research, and networking opportunities. It also included competitions such as the Brain Innovation Days Pitch Competition and the Brain Innovation Days Poster Competition, where Dr. Raquel León was recognized for her outstanding presentation.

Dr. Raquel León presented the European project titled “STRATUM: 3D Decision Support Tool for Brain Tumor Surgery”. STRATUM is an ambitious initiative aimed at developing a clinically validated 3D tool for guiding and diagnosing brain tumors during surgery. Based on multimodal data processing using Artificial Intelligence algorithms, this tool will be integrated as low-power software at the point of care.

The STRATUM consortium consists of 12 partners from across Europe, including academic institutions and companies. Coordinated by the ULPGC, the project was represented at the Brain Innovation Days by Dr. Raquel León and Ms. Laura Quintana. Additionally, Ms. Chrysanthi Bairaktari represented the European Citizen Science Association (ECSA), which leads Work Package 7, focused on project dissemination, communication, and exploitation. This work package aims not only to maximize the visibility of the project's outcomes but also to define a roadmap for advancing STRATUM from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 to TRL 9. Furthermore, it includes strategies to enhance impact and a business plan geared toward the commercialization of this innovative medical tool.

The remarkable presence of the STRATUM team at the Brain Innovation Days highlights the project's commitment to innovation and excellence in AI-assisted neurosurgery.

A tremendous success for STRATUM at the Brain Innovation Days!
