We are pleased to announce the early programme for the upcoming Brain Innovation Days, organised by the European Brain Council (EBC). The event will take place on 13-14 November 2024 in Brussels, Belgium. The aim of the event is to bring the wider brain ecosystem together to foster dialogue, exchange knowledge, accelerate investment in research & innovation and facilitate business development.

The event will take place in the EGG. Located in the heart of Brussels, the venue offers an outstanding space with easy access by train, public transport and car (with many different parking facilities in the vicinity). The perfect place to meet creative minds, exchange knowledge and experience.

Navigaing the Brain Across a Lifetime

The programme will include a wide array of session types, including plenary sessions, inspiring Brain Talks, Poster and Innovation Showcase, matchmaking and networking activities, the Brain Innovation Days Pitch Competition, breakout sessions, panels, how-to sessions and other excited session formats still under wraps!

Registration with an Early Bird Rate has been extended to 15 August 2024. Join the circle of influence in the brain sector & network with key players in the brain research and innovation field — investors, researchers, clinicians, patient representatives, policymakers and more.
