Project description
Thinking about brain health
The brain is an incredibly complex organ, and its health largely remains a mystery. Factors like genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental influences all play crucial roles in brain development. Current challenges, including ageing populations, the COVID-19 pandemic, and poor nutrition, negatively impact brain health. Understanding and preserving brain health is essential for improving overall quality of life. With this in mind, the EU-funded HUPRES-BRAIN project aims to promote a multi-stakeholder approach to brain health research in Europe. By bringing together various stakeholders, it seeks to enhance cooperation, share best practices, and develop innovative solutions. The upcoming conference will feature interactive workshops and sessions to engage participants in critical discussions on advancing brain health research.
Objective
The brain, its functions and its complexity despite intensive research efforts globally, still remains a mystery, especially when it comes to preserving its health. Brain health is an emerging and growing concept that encompasses neural development, plasticity, functioning, and recovery including mental health aspects in a life course perspective. Numerous interconnected social, environmental, life style choices and biological determinants (incl. genetics) play a role in brain development and brain health throughout the life course. Recent developments in our society e.g. aging populations, the COVID pandemic, environmental pollution, unhealthy nutrition and lifestyle, lack of exercise have increasing negative impact on brain health.
By addressing a topic highly important for the European society, the conference aims at promoting the importance of multistakeholder approach in order to maximize societal impact of Brain Health research, gather feedback on challenges and good practices of cooperation and discuss possible ways towards an effective and dynamic pan-European research and innovation cooperation. The conference will provide various plenary and interactive formats for engaging stakeholders, also workshops, site visits and side-events
