Reminder: Promoting Brain Health for Life, December 15–16th

We need a new approach to pro­mote Brain Health for Life: instead of try­ing to treat dis­eases, we need to edu­cate and empow­er the pub­lic at large to adopt life­long healthy lifestyles. In par­al­lel, we need to bet­ter under­stand brain resilience and its mech­a­nisms to design inter­ven­tions that pro­mote it and delay the onset of clin­i­cal man­i­fes­ta­tions of dis­ease, and the con­se­quent disability.

With this 2‑day event we aim to engage rel­e­vant stake­hold­ers and grow the lead­ers of tomor­row by ana­lyz­ing mod­i­fi­able lifestyles as nutri­tion, sleep, exer­cise, social or psy­cho­log­i­cal fac­tors, among oth­ers, and to help pro­mote brain resilience and reserve via lifestyle and innovation.

When & How: Decem­ber 15–16th, online. Reg­is­tra­tion is now closed as event reached full capac­i­ty; we will make sure to share main take-aways short­ly afterwards.
