How to create a HIP account

The HIP. A platform for state-of-the-art processing and international sharing of HUMAN iEEG data.

The HIP is fully integrated in EBRAINS and an EBRAINS account is required in order to access the HIP and use all of its services.

Terms of Use

By applying for a HIP account, future HIP Users accept the EBRAINS General Terms of Use, so to indicate acceptance and compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, rules and approvals in the use and sharing of the data on EBRAINS, including, but not limited to, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They also adhere to the HIP Charter which defines the principles, rules and processes that govern the management of the data and research outputs.

Create an EBRAINS account

EBRAINS is a sustainable European Research Infrastructure providing tools and services in brain research and brain-inspired technologies created by the EU-funded Human Brain Project. Part of EBRAINS resources are available publicly without an account. Other resources, such as the HIP, are accessible only to registered users.

Before applying for a HIP account you need to register for an EBRAINS account. New users with a personal institutional e-mail from a pre-identified institution will be provided an expedited registration process. If the institution is not yet on EBRAINS list, you can either contact EBRAINS High Level Support Team (HLST) or fill in the dedicated form. If you cannot provide an institutional e-mail, it is still possible to request an EBRAINS account from a personal e-mail with a short motivation (max 100 words).
