CogniGron

Creating a blueprint for future-proof computing

The Groningen Cognitive Systems and Materials Center (CogniGron) at the University of Groningen is a cutting-edge research hub revolutionising neuromorphic computing. We delve into self-learning materials and advanced systems for brain-inspired computing, drawing inspiration from the human brain to tackle complex challenges with unparalleled efficiency.

The goal: 10,000x more energy-efficient computer chips

Our mission is to transform traditional computing through innovative neuromorphic technologies and artificial intelligence hardware, reshaping the future of how we process information.

Neuromorphic computing in the Netherlands

CogniGron was founded on a large gift from the Ubbo Emmius Foundation (UEF), giving us the means to pursue our dreams of scientific breakthroughs and awarding young and bright minds the opportunity to develop themselves in this new field of science. Recent newly received funding from the UEF enables ConiGron to stay at the forefront of research within neuromorphic computing in the Netherlands.
