The Iuliu Hațieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Cluj-Napoca is participating in the development of the European Master in Neurotechnology (EMN). This two-year, 120 ECTS credit program is a collaborative effort involving seven European universities.

The program has received a positive report from the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO) and is expected to commence in the 2027-2028 academic year. Taught in English, the curriculum covers biomedical and systems neuroscience, artificial intelligence, neural data analysis, brain modeling, sensors, and brain-computer interfaces.

The Cluj-based university will specifically contribute to the clinical and technological components of the program, utilizing its expertise in medical education and clinical research. Rector Anca Dana Buzoianu noted that the initiative reflects the evolution of medicine toward greater interdisciplinarity and international collaboration.
