Brain Health Partnerships

Partnership website: https://www.brainhealth-partnership.eu/
The Brain Health Partnership aims to advance research and innovation in neuroscience, mental health, and neurodegenerative diseases, fostering integrated approaches for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. It is currently under preparation and will be launched in January 2026. The two first calls for proposals were pre-announched and will open beginning of 2026.

This European Partnership will holistically approach the biomedical, economic, and societal challenges in the field of brain health in Europe and worldwide, aiming for collaborative and innovative solutions for preservation and improvement of brain health, as well as prevention, diagnosis and therapies for neurological and mental disorders. The overarching goal is to foster a European partnership to promote global brain health and enhance the well-being of individuals living with neurological and mental health conditions.

How to use partnerships?

  • orientation
    Partnerships publish strategic documents, e.g. outlining the main research and innovation challenges or key focus points.
  • networking
    Partnerships often organise events, such as info days, brokerage events, etc. Meet potential partners and learn about the nuances that are not visible in the official documents.
  • ecosystem analysis
    Partnerships typically have an advisory board, and publish impact studies of previous actions. These are good sources of information to uncover the main R&D&I players in the domain.
  • steering the agenda
    Partnerships collaborate with the EC on outlining the strategy and the future funding opportunities in their domain, based on input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders.
