A conference entitled 'European Brain Research: Successes and Next Challenges' will be held on 14 May 2013 in Brussels, Belgium.
The European Union (EU) invested heavily in brain research through its Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development. The period 2007-2012 saw an investment of almost EUR 2 billion, to fund 1.268 projects and 4.312 scientists.
Organised by the European Commission, the conference will notably shed light on some of the most ambitious EU-funded projects focusing on the likes of the mechanisms behind knowledge acquisition, nerve regeneration and empathy, and a new cell therapy for treating blindness.
The conference mainly aims to showcase and raise awareness about the benefits, added value and impact of EU-supported research in the area of brain research and healthcare, as well as to define upcoming scientific challenges. It targets all stakeholders, from scientists, to laypeople, industry and patient representatives, policymakers and media.For further information, please visit:
