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.

BEAT-AF - Ground-Breaking Electroporation-based intervention for Atrial Fibrillation treatment

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
