Brain Awareness Week
The Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is the global campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research.
Brain Awareness Week 2021 will take place on 15-21 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 2021.
The applications for the FENS/Dana BAW 2021 grants are now closed.
Planning an event in 2021? FENS, with the support of the Dana Foundation, has put together a list of resources to help you organise an outreach event.
You can also watch our webinar on how to organise an online event and tips for submitting a BAW grant application.
