YEAR
OF THE BRAIN IN EUROPE - 2014
Changing the way Europeans think about their brains
The European Brain Council pledged to make 2014 the European Year of the Brain.
This initiative quickly gained significant support from over 200 organizations representing patients, scientific communities, health care professionals and industry in all areas of brain disorders.
Combined with support from a number of European Commissioners the project also received significant and enthusiastic support from within the European Parliament and EU Member States.
By launching the Year of the Brain in Europe in 2014, a programme to raise awareness and educate, we plan to make a significant impact by challenging current perceptions.
Why the brain?
