Brain Awareness Week
The campaign for brain awareness is a worldwide celebration which brings together scientists, families, schools and different communities for one week in March. Brain Awareness Week is held by The Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives and represents an opportunity to show off the latest advances in the scientific study of the brain.
The SENC is joining in the celebration of Brain Awareness Week, financing educational activities (open days, talks, visits to schools, workshops, etc.) proposed by our members.
To apply for funding, visit SENC Grants.
