Support
200 organisations have pledged to support The Year of the Brain in Europe in 2014. A list of these organisations can be found below.
In order to ensure this campaign has the impact it deserves we need support from people in all walks of life across the world.
We already have the support of more than 10 internationally know personalities who have agreed to become ambassadors for Year of the Brain in Europe. This will ensure we have a prominent and respected ‘voice’ enabling us to interact and resonate with European society as a whole. Ambassadors’ details can be found here.
We want to work with a wide range of people and organizations. If you would be interested in becoming involved then please contact us.
