NeuroHack
From November 18th to 20th, 2024 Łukasiewicz – PORT in Wrocław became a hub of creativity and collaboration during NeuroHack 2024, a key event organized within the framework of the SAME-NeuroID project. The event brought together researchers, innovators, and industry experts to help young investigators to practice commercialisation 'safely – without the risk of bankruptcy’.
Interactive Group Work and Pitch Session
Participants collaborated on innovative projects during group workshops, culminating in dynamic pitch presentations on the final day. The winning team led by Maurits Unkel from Erasmus University Medical Center, with the project Neurava, was awarded during the closing ceremony, recognizing creativity and potential for impact.
Neurava fosters a deeper connection with oneself and others, enabling the experience of life’s full potential through nourishment and holistic healing via recreation. It introduces an AI deep-learning-assisted, neuromorphic, brain-powered device—a mind companion inspired by the concept of an avatar—designed for personal growth and well-being through innovative recreation.

Networking and Social Events
Evening gatherings provided ample opportunities for participants to connect, exchange ideas, and build professional relationships.
Reflections from the Project Coordinator
“We had concerns about how such a new-for-us formula for NeuroHack would work in practice, but more than a year of work to properly select committed group leaders and build trust between them and group members, as well as a precise selection of experts, resulted in an inspiring event.” said Witold Konopka, SAME-NeuroID Project Coordinator.
Looking Ahead
As NeuroHack 2024 came to a close, participants left with new ideas, stronger professional networks, and practical insights to apply in their work. The event highlighted the importance of collaboration and innovation in addressing challenges in neuroscience and neurology, setting the stage for continued progress for Łukasiewicz – PORT.
A special thank you goes to everyone who made this workshop possible – our outstanding experts, SAME-NeuroID project partners ICM, EMC and Max Planck and TTO Officers—Thom Joosten, Sebastian Meyer-Borcher, and Marie Micolon—who contributed significantly to the incubation process.
THANK YOU 😊
