The clock is ticking, and Brain Innovation Days 2025 is just around the corner. Join us on 14 October 2025 in the European Parliament for the opening event of the Brain Innovation Days, “The Brain as a Strategic Asset: Securing Europe’s Future Through Innovation and Health”.
With neurological and mental disorders representing a leading cause of disability and costing the European Union between €800 billion and €1.4 trillion annually, we can no longer sideline brain health in the EU’s policy frameworks and funding decisions. Hosted by MEP Zdechovský (EPP, Czech Republic) and MEP Sokol (EPP, Croatia), this event will spotlight how the European Union is beginning to rise to the challenge – through increased legislative momentum on a Neurological and Mental Health Strategy, the upcoming launch of the European Partnership for Brain Health in 2026 and the work to develop an EU Coordination Plan for the Brain.
