Brain Awareness Week calendar of events for the UK and Ireland
Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is a global campaign, founded by The Dana Foundation, to engage and educate the public on the advances and advantages of brain research in a worldwide celebration of the brain!
This UK and Ireland events calendar will be continuously updated with new events - please check back for updates.
Although the official BAW dates are 11th-17th March there are lots of events before and after the week itself, so we have extended the calendar to make sure we don't miss anything out. We've also included brain-related events which aren't specifically being held for BAW, but we think are excellent opportunities to find out about neuroscience.
Enjoy BAW at a venue near you!
Know about an event which isn't listed here? Please let us know.
