“Neuroscience & Society” event at the Science Summit at the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA79).

As part of the Global Brain Coalition, the European Brain Council (EBC), Brain Capital Alliance, Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative, Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, UNICEF and event partners are pleased to invite you to attend a two-day, high-level side event, Neuroscience & Society: A Life Course Approach to Brain Health, at the Science Summit of the 79^th United Nations General Assembly in New York City on 19-20 September 2024.

Key stakeholders from across the wider brain community – patients, scientists, clinicians, policymakers, industry leaders, economists and other relevant actors – will meet to present on their work and co-create towards further action to place brain health at the top of national and global policy agendas in the post-Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) era. This action is incredibly timely, as dozens of countries worldwide host major elections, and we are witnessing times of major political, economic, and overall societal shifts and instability. Furthermore, at the global level, the United Nations enters a period of preparation for the future, with the Summit of the Future kicking off during UNGA79 to plan for the post-2030 agenda and a High-Level Conference on NCDs planned in 2025.
