We are thrilled to invite you to the third edition of Brain Awareness Week in Rotterdam! This is a global campaign to increase public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research.
This year, we’re embracing the theme:
“Brain and Art: Creativity in Mind.”
Join us between the 10th and 15th of March 2025 and explore the fascinating connection between neuroscience and the arts. We’ll dive into how the brain fuels creativity and how artistic expression influences mental well-being through interactive workshops, thought-provoking talks, and vibrant art displays.
