18 March 2026, The Brain Health Mission, along with key strategic partners, the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), the European Brain Council (EBC) and the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS), with Angelika Winzig’s (MEP) support organise a full day event in Brussels highlighting the brain entitled:

"Brain Health Day: Prevention, Policy, Progress"

The European Partnership for Brain Health officially kicks off with an unprecedented €500 million commitment, and the European Parliament’s Public Health Committee turns its attention to neurological and mental health strategies. 

The day will feature three events aimed at advancing both policy and practice to improve brain health outcomes:

• The European Brain Health Summit (09:30-12:30 CET) will focus on the need for a coherent European strategy for brain health, spanning early childhood development, lifelong brain health maintenance, and the prevention of neurological conditions. Discussions will highlight how aligned policies and sustained investment can reduce the growing burden of neurological disorders, support economic growth, and drive innovation.
• The Brain Health Mission Exhibition at European Parliament (14:00–15:00 CET) hosted by Angelika Winzig MEP will showcase the role of brain health in Europe’s well-being, productivity, and societal resilience, underlining why brain health is a cross-cutting policy priority. The event will focus on actionable strategies for prevention, early intervention, and sustainable solutions that can drive long-term impact for brain health.
• A European Vision for the Brain: Coordinating Research, Care & Innovation (16:00-18:00 CET) will take place at a key moment as the European Union finalises its 10th Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, offering a unique window to ensure the brain is firmly anchored in EU policy agendas. Featuring EBC and FENS and hosted by MEP Angelika Winzig within the European Parliament, the event will highlight how coordinated approaches across research, care systems, innovation ecosystems and prevention frameworks can accelerate progress and reduce fragmentation, ensuring Europe’s brain health ecosystem evolves in a coherent and impactful way.
