Brain Week

On Thursday 13 and Friday 14 March 2025, UMR PhAN will be taking part in the 27th Brain Week, along with its neuroscience colleagues in Nantes. Several presentations will be given by research units - including the PhAN Unit - involved in neuroscience research in Nantes, as well as meetings dedicated to presenting Nantes neuroscience research to secondary school pupils. The programme can be accessed to the following link: https://www.semaineducerveau.fr/manifestations/

Organised every March since 1999, Brain Week is coordinated in France by the Society for Neuroscience. This international event, initiated by the Dana Foundation, takes place simultaneously in around a hundred countries and over 100 towns in France. Its aim is to raise public awareness of the importance of brain research. It is also an opportunity for many researchers to meet the general public, to present the advances made in neuroscience research laboratories, to explain what is at stake in our understanding of the brain and to show the implications for our society.

Throughout Brain Week, the general public is invited to come and meet those involved in research to find out more about how the brain works and to keep abreast of the latest scientific news. The event stands out for its national and international scope, the large number of people involved, its public success and the quality of its programme.

In 2024, almost 100,000 young people and adults took part in the event.
