Alzheimer's Research UK to join BNA2027 as Festival Programme Partner
The British Neuroscience Association (BNA) is delighted to announce that Alzheimer's Research UK (ARUK) will be a Festival Programme Partner at the BNA2027 International Festival of Neuroscience, taking place in Belfast from 25–28 April 2027. As the BNA's Festival Programme Partner, Alzheimer's Research UK will bring its community into the Festival, creating new opportunities for collaboration, networking and knowledge exchange across the neuroscience community. Alzheimer’s Research UK’s dedicated Neurodegeneration track will form part of the wider scientific programme, complementing a diverse range of sessions spanning the full breadth of neuroscience.
The partnership builds on the longstanding relationship between the BNA and Alzheimer's Research UK, reflecting a shared commitment to advancing neuroscience research, supporting researchers at every career stage, and accelerating progress through collaboration across disciplines.
BNA2027 will bring together researchers, clinicians, industry professionals and policymakers from across the neuroscience landscape. Delegates will be able to explore an extensive scientific programme covering topics from fundamental neuroscience and brain development to mental health, neurological disorders, cognition, technology and translation.
Dr Jacqui Hanley, Head of Research Funding at Alzheimer's Research UK, said:
Our longstanding partnership with the British Neuroscience Association reflects a shared commitment to advancing neuroscience and supporting the next generation of researchers. Through BNA2027 and a dedicated neurodegeneration track, we look forward to bringing together researchers from across the neuroscience community, creating opportunities for collaboration and development, and accelerating progress towards life-changing breakthroughs for people affected by dementia.
Dr Laura Ajram, Chief Executive of the British Neuroscience Association, said:
We are delighted that Alzheimer's Research UK is joining the BNA in Belfast for BNA2027. Their expertise in neurodegeneration will add real strength to an already wide-ranging scientific programme and strengthen discussions across this important area of neuroscience. By bringing together researchers working across every area of brain science, BNA2027 will create an environment where new ideas, connections and collaborations can flourish.
Further details about the BNA2027 scientific programme will be announced in the coming months. Register your interest to receive priority updates on the scientific programme, speakers, partners and early bird registration as they're announced.
