Brain Awareness Week
Efforts aimed at informing the public on the progress of the research in Neuroscience remain a priority, a reason why the SSN Council invites you to contribute to the "Brain Awareness Week" activities.
Funding available for Brain Awareness Week
FENS offers financial support to organize an event during the Brain Awareness Week. The Brain Awareness Week is a worldwide celebration of the brain that grows more successful every year. It is an opportunity to let people know what is being done to diagnose, treat and prevent disorders of the brain, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, schizophrenia and depression.
The Dana Alliance for the Brain since many years offers financial support to those who organize a brain event during this period . In 2006, for the first time, the Dana Alliance for the Brain has asked FENS to administer this support reserved for European organizations contributing to the Brain Awareness week.
FENS therefore invites applications for this support. Please use the attached application form to submit your application and return it to the FENS Office Berlin by e-Mail referring “Brain Awareness Week”.
