Jan G. Bjaalie is Professor of Neuroinformatics and Dean of Research and Innovation at the University of Oslo Faculty of Medicine . Since 2023 he heads the faculty’s research and innovation strategy, while directing the Neural Systems and Graphics Computing Laboratory at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences. Education: 1990 Ph.D. in Neuroanatomy, University of Oslo 1986 M.D., University of Oslo Research interests revolve around collaborative and open neuroscience, digital brain atlasing, and the cyber-infrastructures that enable data sharing. He leads efforts to build next-generation atlases that integrate multi-scale brain architecture and connectivity data, and to develop ontologies and FAIR-compliant platforms for global neuroscience. Recent work emphasizes in silico integration of rodent and human imaging datasets, leveraging machine-learning registration tools and cloud-based services such as EBRAINS. The goal is to transform how brain data are stored, visualised and reused across laboratories worldwide. Scientific output & impact: A scan of publications from 2023-2025 reveals a strong focus on digital atlas frameworks, automated image registration (DeepSlice, DeMBA), open data standards (AtOM ontology), and large-scale analyses of genetic influences on brain structure in Alzheimer’s models. These works collectively advance reproducible, high-throughput neuroanatomy and cross-species translation. Grants & leadership roles: Coordinator/Partner in EU Flagships EBRAINS 2.0, BRAIN Health, Human Brain Project (2013-2026) Infrastructure Director, Human Brain Project (2018-2023) Leader of Neuroinformatics Platform & EBRAINS Data Services (2017-2023) Head of Institute of Basic Medical Sciences (2009-2016) Executive Director, International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) (2006-2008) Chair, International Brain Initiative (2021-) Editorial & governance service: Founding Chief Editor Frontiers in Neuroinformatics (2007-), Section Editor Brain Structure and Function (2002-2020), member of the INCF Governing Board and EBRAINS AISBL Management Board, and numerous international advisory panels on data governance and ethics. His laboratory hosts the Norwegian Neuroinformatics Node and collaborates closely with global consortia to deliver open-access atlases, software pipelines and FAIR data standards that underpin modern neuroscience.

Anne Lise Wie is an Associate Professor at Nord University , Norway, specializing in Norwegian didactics and teacher education. She has been active since 1997, focusing on early childhood education, language development, and outdoor learning environments. Her interdisciplinary work bridges folklore, creative writing, and educational technology. Education: Cand Philol in Norwegian from the University of Tromsø (1997) Key Research: Folklore, early literacy, nature-based pedagogy, cross-curricular projects Her research explores the integration of folklore into modern pedagogy, using outdoor spaces as dynamic learning arenas. Projects include Visualising the Draug (mythological landscape interpretations) and Nordic-Baltic networks for creative teaching methods. Publications span interactive storytelling, gamification in education, and interdisciplinary approaches to literacy. Recent articles highlight her work on location-based literature teaching for intercultural understanding and digital humanities in folklore representation. She emphasizes collaborative learning through workshops, exhibitions, and community events like Sami National Day. Her supervision of theses focuses on practical applications of aesthetic and outdoor education in teacher training.
