This science conference, organised by the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), has as main objectives:

  • Reinforcing awareness of the members of the European Commission to the importance of Brain Health and Neuroscience;
  • Highlighting the strengths of the CEA, INSERM and other French teams in the field of neurosciences and medical technologies;
  • Assuring the financing of future brain related research in neurotechnology (preparation for FP 10);
  • Producing a white paper “Brain Health for the Future” to inform the EU how France is well positioned to provide a roadmap in Neuroscience and its integration into the larger European landscape

It starts off with speakers from CEA and the European Commission, the European Brain Council & European Brain Foundation, to continue with presentations of various (mainly French) research institutes regarding Neurodegenerative Diseases, Psychiatric Diseases and Neurotechnologies. 

Details about the programme and registration can be found on the conference website.

Methylomic – Hope & Improved outcomes for Crohn’s disease patients across Europe

The METHYLOMIC project, ‘targeting hope for personalised medicine in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project aims to personalise treatment allocation and enhance the effectiveness of medications for chronic immune-mediated diseases such as Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. BIRD, the Belgian inflammatory bowel disease research and development group, is a partner in the project and is involved in the OmiCrohn trial, a prospective randomised clinical trial for individualised therapy in Crohn’s disease patients. With BIRD’s active role in this trial, the project is set to deliver predictive, biomarker-based therapies that bring renewed hope for Crohn’s disease patients across Europe.
