Our researchers at Brain Week 2026
RetourOrganised every year in March by the Society for Neuroscience, Brain Week is an opportunity for different audiences to explore various related research topics.
Once again this year, our researchers are participating in various events throughout the week to present their work on student mental health, ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, and more
As every year in March, Brain Week is organised by the Society for Neuroscience.
While the 2026 edition of Brain Week begins on 16 March and ends on 22 March throughout France, in Bordeaux, events coordinated by Neurocampus are being organised from Monday 10 March in partnership with La Fabrique du Citoyen, which this year is addressing the topic of mental health.
