Location: Irish National Stud & Gardens, Kildare, Ireland

A Value-Driven Future for Brain Health & Care is an interactive Policy World Café that will bring people with lived experience and carers together with policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, patient advocates, funders, innovators and industry representatives to shape practical recommendations for the future of brain health in Ireland and across Europe.

Taking place in the context of the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union – and building on the momentum of key national and European gatherings – it will put diverse voices at the same table to move beyond discussion towards action. Through four facilitated, participatory challenges on lived experience, prevention, research-to-impact and value-driven care, participants will identify shared priorities, develop concrete recommendations and bring them directly into a closing policy dialogue.

The event will demonstrate how a more connected, people-centred approach to brain health can improve outcomes, strengthen health-system resilience and support coordinated progress across Europe.
