The Brain Innovation Days 2026 cover recent advances, challenges and opportunities in the field through talks, panel discussions, interactive sessions and networking.

The European Brain Council organises a conference on brain health and innovation. It aims to bring the brain community together to explore current advances, challenges and opportunities in the field.

The programme includes Brain Talks, panel discussions, an Innovation Hall showcasing projects and technologies, and the annual Pitch Competition for brain-related start-ups. New for 2026, the event also plans interactive sessions designed to encourage dialogue and collaboration.

The event is aimed at researchers, clinicians, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors and policymakers from across Europe and beyond.
