Brain Week 2026: Researchers Connect with the Public
Across France and Canada, a series of events are underway as part of Brain Week 2026, offering opportunities for the public to learn about the latest neuroscience research. These initiatives aim to increase understanding of the brain and neurological conditions, which impact millions worldwide.
The Institut du Cerveau’s FRONTLAB team, focusing on the functions and dysfunctions of frontal systems, is participating in the outreach efforts. More information about the FRONTLAB team is available here.
In Bordeaux, the Inserm is hosting events to showcase neuroscientific discoveries. Researchers are providing insights into brain function, offering the public a chance to engage with cutting-edge science.
The Limousin region is also marking Brain Week with events designed to encourage reflection on what’s happening inside our heads. The initiative aims to promote awareness of brain health.
The CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research) is also engaging the public during Brain Week, providing opportunities to meet with scientists and learn about their work. Details about the CNRS’s participation can be found here.
the Fondation Brain Canada has launched Brain Awareness Week 2026, further amplifying efforts to educate and engage the public about brain health. More information on this initiative is available from Newswire Canada.
These events collectively underscore the importance of brain health and the ongoing require for research to address neurological disorders. Increased public awareness can lead to earlier diagnosis, improved treatment, and a greater understanding of the complexities of the human brain.
The Inserm’s regional delegation in Paris Île-de-France Centre Est is also involved in these initiatives. Further details can be found on the Inserm website.
