Participation in the Brain Innovation Days 2024 in Brussels

The 4th edition of the Brain Innovation Days, organised by the European Brain Council, will take place on 13-14 November 2024 in Brussels, Belgium, under the overarching theme “Navigating the Brain Across a Lifetime“.
This event aims to bring the wider brain ecosystem together to foster dialogue, exchange knowledge, accelerate investment in research & innovation, and facilitate business development.

The main theme will revolve around 5 subthemes:

🧠 Blossoming Brains: Early Brain Development
🏫 Building Brains: Schools and Workplaces
🏥 Timeless Brains: Nurturing Resilience, Embracing Change
⚙️ Holistic Brains: Strategies for Brain Health in a Dynamic Society
🚀 Advancements in Neurotechnology: Pioneering Innovations

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, and how-to sessions.

Our PI Prof. Barbara Di Camillo will take part in the “Harnessing AI for brain health: lab to market to society” panel, an event that marks the conclusion of the BRAINTEASER project, celebrating its advances in remote prediction, prevention, and care for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Key sessions will cover the transition of BRAINTEASER’s technology (an app and wearables) from the lab to the market, and the potential impact on patient-centred care. There will also be a showcase of the project’s clinical app and insights on its application to other neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s.

The Brain Innovation Days offer an exciting opportunity to engage with the latest innovations in brain health, and we are proud to see Prof. Di Camillo contribute to the discussion on AI’s role in advancing care from lab to market, reinforcing our commitment to impactful, patient-centred research.
