Brain Awareness Week

Brain Awareness Week

The Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is the global campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research.

Join us for Brain Awareness Week 2020

16 - 21 March

The Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is an opportunity to let people know about the progress that is being done in brain research as well as progress in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the brain, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, schizophrenia and depression.

FENS, on behalf of the Dana Foundation, offers financial support of up to 1,000 EUR to event organisers within Europe during the Brain Awareness Week. Proposals are subject to a highly rigorous and competitive selection process.

FENS is happy to announce that the Dana Foundation once more allocated funds for the support of European BAW projects in 2020.

Download materials and use them during your BAW event.

Advertise your event on the BAW Calendar

Organising an event during Brain Awareness Week?

FENS and the Dana Foundation would like to encourage you to increase your BAW event's exposure by listing it on the BAW calendar. You can also add it to the outreach section of the FENS calendar.
