With the ultimate goal to preserve and promote brain health in society and to enhance the well-being of people with neurological and mental health conditions in Europe and worldwide, the Coordination and Support Action (CSA) BrainHealth has been preparing for the launch of a European Partnership for Brain Health. Supported by the European Commission, the CSA BrainHealth gathers national and regional funders and relevant stakeholders in Europe and beyond, in close connection with the research community to enable collaboration and a broad dialogue, paving the way towards the future Partnership.

Third in a series of webinars aiming at informing global stakeholders about the upcoming Partnership and putting EU brain research on the global stage, the CSA BrainHealth Webinar “Towards a Global Brain Health Data Space” will take place on 9th of October 2025 at 14:00 – 15:40 CEST. Gathering global actors in brain health, the webinar will explore regional perspectives and priorities, together with identifying barriers and opportunities for collaboration towards a global brain health data space.

About the European Partnership for Brain Health (EP BrainHealth)

Brain disorders – neurological and mental alike – are leading causes of mortality and disability globally, placing a great burden on society as a whole: affecting not only the millions of Europeans affected by a brain condition but their families, professional and informal carers, as well as healthcare systems and national economies as a whole.

To take on these grand challenges, a coordinated, sustainable, and holistic research and innovation initiative, the European Partnership for Brain Health (EP BrainHealth), is envisaged as a major joint effort of the European Commission, Member States and Associated Countries in collaboration with international partners. By capitalising on existing initiatives, synergies will be formed and links with all relevant stakeholders in the brain health sector and beyond will be strengthened to increase and align efforts and funding. A joint Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) and the resulting Implementation Plan will provide impetus to brain research, innovation, and health care aimed to improve and maintain brain health in society. The expected impact of the EP BrainHealth is an accelerated translation of research results into improved brain health protection- and care-strategies as well as new and better technology for diagnostics and treatment. The harmonisation of approaches and consideration of legal, social, and ethical aspects of brain health research will improve the implementation of research results and public health policies. By focusing not only on brain disorders but also on the protection of brain health, the EP BrainHealth will pave the way towards a healthier society.
