For two days this week, the "Towards a Strengthened European Cooperation in Brain Health Research" (or just "Brain Health EU") conference brought together an inspiring community of experts here in Budapest to discuss how to advance this critical field. Organised by NRDIO - National Research Development and Innovation Office (NKFIH) under the Hungarian Presidency, with support from the European Commission, and hosted at Semmelweis University, the event showcased a shared commitment to building stronger collaboration and addressing the challenges ahead. As we close this chapter of discussions, one thing is clear: the future of European brain research depends on collaboration and vision.
A few key takeaways from the Brain Health Conference 2024:
🌐A multi-stakeholder approach is essential to connect policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, and funders.
🏛️ Securing the future of European brain research funding requires strategic, long-term investment.
🔓 Facilitating collaboration between diverse actors can unlock groundbreaking innovation.
💡 Addressing administrative burdens while safeguarding researchers’ freedom is key to fostering excellence.
📚 Overcoming fragmentation in the research ecosystem is critical to building a cohesive and impactful framework.
