Brain Health Event at the European Parliament

Under the Auspices of the Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union, and hosted by MEP Ondřej Knotek, the European Academy of Neurology held an event on ‘The Future of Brain Health: Clinically Informed & Patient-Centered Brain Research’ to highlight the importance and need for research, as well as the main priorities and gaps within neurology, which if addressed will have major impact on brain health.

The vision of the European Academy of Neurology is to advance research efforts and equal access to high-quality care for everyone. Given the high burden of neurological disorders on European healthcare, it is vital that neurologists provide a clear direction for clinically informed research priorities, in order to address serious gaps in prevention, treatment, diagnosis and understanding of neurological disorders. 

The event took place at the European Parliament in Brussels on December 8 from 14:00 to 16:00 CET with the aim to highlight important areas for future research within neurology, which will significantly impact brain health in Europe while enhancing care for patients.
