We would like to cordially invite you to the
Journées CORTICO 2026 which will take place from 18 to 20 May 2026 at the University of Lille.
The Journées CORTICO 2026 conference is a flagship scientific event which brings together the research communities in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI), neurotechnology, and cognitive neuroscience for three days of presentations, discussions, and networking. The 2026 edition will mark a major milestone with the 20th anniversary of BCI research in France, offering a unique opportunity to reflect on two decades of scientific progress while addressing current and future challenges in the field.
Please note that the conference will be held in both English and French, with live simultaneous interpretation provided throughout the event, ensuring full accessibility for international participants.
Participants from NeurotechEU partner universities will benefit from free registration, covering the full conference experience. All attendees are welcome to attend as spectators or submit their own work. Registration is already possible while abstract submissions (experimental results, case studies, literature reviews, scientific protocols, theoretical analyses, or any relevant contribution to the field) will open in January 2026.
The program will feature keynote lectures, oral presentations by young researchers, poster sessions, and dedicated networking opportunities for early-career scientists. In addition, the 2026 edition is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Brain-Computer Interfaces research in France, with leading experts sharing insights during keynote sessions.
Registration details and program updates are available on the official CORTICO website.
