The European Brain Council (EBC) has published its 2024 Annual Report, reflecting on and celebrating the organisation’s accomplishments in brain advocacy at national, European, and global levels in the previous calendar year.
The report covers highlights such as the No Health Without Brain Health campaign, launched in March 2024 to emphasise the need for EU policymakers to recognise the urgency of placing the brain higher on health and research policy agendas; the milestone Brain Days event, held across two days at the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York; and the continuation of the EBC’s work within the Coordination and Support Action (CSA) BrainHealth, tasked by the European Commission to design and pave the way towards a European Brain Health Partnership, set to start in January 2026.
The report also covers an extensive array of projects and initiatives continued or launched throughout 2024, including the launch of the Rethinking Schizophrenia: Beyond the Voices white paper, another successful Brain Awareness Week in the European Parliament, the publication of the paper Rethinking Alzheimer’s: From Diagnosis to Care, the launch of the concept of a Rare Brain Disease Ecosystem, the largest-ever Brain Innovation Days yet, and active contributions to the drafting of a European Charter for the Responsible Development of Neurotechnologies and within EU-funded projects such as BRAINTEASER and HEREDITARY.
