SUMMARY:Open co-design workshop on next generation tools to manage Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Multiple Sclerosis
DESCRIPTION:Started on January 2021\, the 4 years Horizon 2020 BRAINTEASER project seeks to exploit the value of artificial intelligence\, big data—including those related to health\, lifestyle habits and environment—\, low-cost sensors and smart apps to support patients living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS) and their caregivers. Its goal is to develop patient stratification and disease progression models to detect\, alleviate and manage the negative impact induced by factors that contribute to the diseases cause\, progression and survival. The BRAINTEASER multidisciplinary approach\, guided by a strong focus on co-design methodologies\, will pave the path for patients toward a healthier and more fulfilling life and will support the enhancement of public health systems’ capacities to adopt a more predictive and personalised approach to health. \nThe initial BRAINTEASER technical solution will be presented during the “Open co-design workshop on next generation tools to manage ALS and MS” workshop. External experts and the audience will be involved in a collaborative and participative discussion on clinical unmet needs\, disease course\, clinical practice and new emerging research on ALS and MS to assess the BRAINTEASER solution and propose possible refinements. \nClick here to view workshop details\, registration link and agenda. \nBRAINTEASER_open co-design workshop agenda_FINAL_3rd June 2021

SUMMARY:“Brain and machine: Improving MS care in a digital age”
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines is perhaps the clearest example of cumulative medical innovationㅡand its undisputed power to transform lives. But scientific innovation has not been limited to the race for immunity. From telemedicine and portable diagnostics to digital therapeutics and blockchain\, digital technologies are reshaping health-care delivery―and could play a transformative role in the future. \nThis is nowhere truer than with multiple sclerosis (MS)\, a neurological condition for which there is currently no cure. From disease-modifying treatments to improved tools for monitoring disease activity\, significant progress has been made in improving the quality of life of people affected by MS. Yet there is still a long way to go to better understand and respond to the disease. Digital products such as remote-monitoring tools and wearable devices and sensors offer the potential to deliver personalised and improved care to those affected by MS. But accelerating the pace of innovation requires effective policies and sufficient investment for research. Above all\, the needs of patients must be at the forefront\, with open dialogue between policymakers\, industry leaders and health professionals. \nThis digital event\, supported by Biogen\, EBC and EU40\, will convene biotechnology leaders\, policymakers\, medical professionals\, advocacy groups and patient advocates to examine how the digital revolution is transforming health-care delivery. In the approach to World MS Day\, recognized on 30 May 2021\, the event will take a focused look at the progress that has been made in treating MS\, and will examine how to accelerate further advances. \nRead more here and register now!

SUMMARY:Brain Innovation Days: Fast-tracking brain innovation in times of COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe last 14 months have been a most testing time for the world in general and for global health in particular. COVID-19 took the world by surprise as weaknesses were exposed in public health systems’ preparedness to face pandemics and we continue to face the consequences over a year on. However\, the emergence of COVID-19 has also succeeded in accelerating innovation in science\, treatments\, healthcare and health management. \nPositive results have been observed where a stronger emphasis on collaboration among different players was placed. From researchers to clinicians to community to biotech\, public-private partnerships were strengthened\, and\, thanks to increased responsiveness from authoritative bodies\, more agile ways of fast-tracking innovation were set in motion. \nThe purpose of this Brain Innovation Days digital session\, the 3rd in the series\, is to explore the positive direct and indirect results of COVID-19 pandemic response and research on the brain innovation ecosystem. The session will feature key opinions leaders\, patient testimonials\, clinicians\, representatives from the EU and WHO level and the industries that were forced to adapt to this rapid change of pace in innovation. \nRegister now!

SUMMARY:Patient Engagement in EU-Funded Brain Research Projects (EBC-EFNA-GAMIAN-Europe Brain Awareness Week Event)
DESCRIPTION:  \nBrain Awareness Week 2021 \nEBC in partnership with EFNA & GAMIAN-Europe \nPatient Engagement in EU-Funded Brain Research Projects \nDigital Event – 16 March\, 12:30-14:00 \nPatient engagement in research is an approach that involves meaningful and active collaboration with patients in the governance\, priority setting\, conducting and knowledge translation of research. While patient engagement is becoming increasingly popular and vital prerequisite in research projects\, many researchers are still unsure or hesitant in the involvement of patients in their work and why such engagement is of value. The process is unclear to many and how to fully involve patients can be unclear. However\, many patients are keen to be part of research – “nothing about us without us” –arguing that no research can be fully done without direct insight from the people actually living with these conditions every day. \nFor some time now\, the European Commission\, through its research programmes and related initiatives\, has been increasing its encouragement of involving patients in research\, particularly within the projects it funds. The Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) approach has been highlighted throughout the objectives of the EU Horizon 2020 Programme. In health research this means to put the expectations of patients and society at the heart of research programs. European initiatives such as the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) have spearheaded the growth of involving patients in European research\, encouraging patient involvement in their activities and project\, and involving patients as speakers and panellists in their events and consultations. Furthermore\, H2020-funded projects such as MULTI-ACT were launched with the aim to increase the impact of health research on people with brain diseases and to create and implement a new model allowing for the effective cooperation of all relevant stakeholders. \nHowever\, most patients and patient representatives still feel like not enough support is given to have their voices fully heard in research—requests and demand for involving patients is growing but a pool of “patient experts” is still lacking. The discussion needs to shift from “we need to show that patients are on board” to “how can we best involve patients and why/how are we involving them to the full benefit for the research conducted”. “What can be done concretely in EU funded health research projects to enforce patient engagement”? This needs to be more than a “box ticking exercise”. \nThis Brain Awareness Week looks to explore the current state of patient engagement in EU-funded Brain Research projects\, looking at IMI and MULTI-ACT as concrete examples and solutions and analysing in discussion with key officials what has been done and what can still be done in order to guarantee change. \nSee programme and concept note included below. Registration is now open HERE. \nBrain Awareness Week-Programme \nDownload the programme HERE.

SUMMARY:Value Based Healthcare Conference
DESCRIPTION:The event will be held online on the 4th of March 2021 from 10.00 to 17:00 (UTC+2hours).\nHealth systems in Europe and around the world are evolving to adapt to the societal and technological changes and the changing health needs as more people live longer with chronic or degenerative conditions. This requires changes in the health systems’ design and new ways of delivering healthcare. Next to reduced mortality\, improving general health outcomes and quality of life is gaining importance as the main objective of healthcare. \nAll stakeholders acknowledge that a shift of emphasis is required from a siloed budget focused approach towards a more holistic health and social care system approach. Future healthcare will be more personalized in all stages of healthcare where an evidence-based integrated approach will be applied with an increased role of patients in managing their own health and care. \nThe conference aims at raising awareness and knowledge among the healthcare community on the value of patient-centered healthcare. \nAt the conference\, good practices and practical examples will be presented by speakers from Estonia and other countries. These ideas will be focused on developing and implementing patient-centered healthcare approaches. \nParticipation in the conference is free of charge. Information e-mail will be sent to registered delegates with the link enabling to access the internet environment of the event before the beginning of the conference. \nThe conference is co-organised by the Estonian Ministry of Social Affairs\, Estonian Health Insurance Fund\, Estonian Cancer Society\, The North Estonia Medical Centre Foundation\, Tartu University Hospital\, European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) and the Association of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers in Estonia. \n  \nInfo and registration here.

SUMMARY:Virtual workshop on good practices for the off-label use of medicines in Sweden and Norway
DESCRIPTION:The use of medicines off-label plays an important role in various areas of medicine as it allows patients to be treated in cases where an authorised drug is not available for a specific therapeutic indication\, population or method of administration. Despite its importance\, off-label prescription lacks a clear and uniform approach at European level. As elsewhere in Europe\, physicians in the Nordics prescribe medicines off-label to treat conditions where there are no approved products on the market. However there is a lack of an aligned strategy among agencies and decision makers when it comes to dealing this matter\, with different health care regions in the countries taking different approaches. \nTo maintain the highest levels of patient safety and minimise any adverse events\, while not limiting the access to medications off-label when there is an unmet medical need\, a number of organisations put forward the Declaration on Good Off-Label Use Practice (so called GOLUP) as a basis for discussion across Europe. Following a launch event in Brussels\, workshops have been held in Rome and Madrid to present the GOLUP and discuss it with local stakeholders and decisionmakers. \nSPEAKERS: \n• Maria Prigorowsky\, Head of Public Affairs\, Hjärnfonden\, The Swedish Brain Foundation \n• Lise Johnson\, Chair of the board\, MSforbundet\, The Norwegian MS Association \n• Frédéric Destrebecq\, Executive Director\, The European Brain Council \n• Synnöve Lindemalm\, Karolinska University Hospital and representative of ePed (an evidence-based database for the Swedish pediatric population) \n• Elisabeth Gulowsen Celius\, University of Oslo\, Department of Neurology \n• Thony Björk\, Medicines expert\, SPF Seniorerna\, The Swedish Association for Senior Citizens \n• Dag Larsson\, Senior policy expert\, Läkemedelsindustriföreningen\, Trade association for the research based pharmaceutical industry in Sweden \n• Line Walen\, Senior Policy Advisor\, Legemiddelindustrien\, Trade association for the pharmaceutical industry in Norway \n• Jenni Nordborg\, National Coordinator and Director of the Office for Life Sciences\, Government Offices of Sweden \nSpeakers will provide their remarks in English\, followed by a Q&A session where the audience will have the option to intervene in Swedish/Norwegian. \n  \nWe look forward to welcoming you online: please register your attendance.

SUMMARY:Brain Innovation Days 2020
DESCRIPTION:The European Brain Council and beLean.net will virtually launch the first Brain Innovation Days on 13 October\, 2020\, with the full on-site event to be held 12-13 October 2021 in Brussels. \n179 million Europeans are currently living with brain disorders and this is to steadily increase as the population ages. Though one in three Europeans are set to live with a brain disease at some point of their life\, neurological and mental alike. In addition\, it is estimated that brain disorders account for up to 45% of total healthcare budgets and this burden is expected to grow. \nDespite the prevalence of brain disorders in Europe\, there is currently no disease modifying treatment available to cure a wide range of mental and neurological conditions. Developing treatments that can significantly improve the lives of those living with brain disorders is extremely challenging. \nYet\, compared to other disease areas\, the pace of innovation in this field has traditionally been hindered by multiple factors\, including the complexity of the brain itself. As a result\, brain treatments remain insufficient and research is disproportionately underfunded compared to other disease areas. We believe enhanced multi-stakeholder engagement in the brain ecosystem is needed to foster dialogue\, exchange knowledge\, accelerate investment in research and innovation\, facilitate business development and showcase on-going work. \nVisit & follow the #BIDays Social Media Channels: \n\n

SUMMARY:EBC Sessions at Digitalscience@UNGA75
DESCRIPTION:EBC has been invited to host two side sessions at the upcoming sciencedigital@UNGA75 series of virtual side events within the context of the 75th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA75)  in September 2020. The central theme of these activities will be to advance awareness of the role and contribution of science and digital technologies to the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nThe objective will be to develop and launch science and digital capacity initiatives and demonstrate global science mechanisms and activities in support of the attainment of the SDGs. Science infrastructures and digital research capacity building are crucial to enable scientists to collaborate at global level to create opportunities for wide-ranging initiatives that can produce innovations to address challenges in the area of health\, climate\, environment\, energy\, agriculture\, and food\, amongst a range of other objectives. \nOn 30 September\, EBC will host the following sessions: \nThe Potentials of Increased Collaboration in Science: examples from the brain community (12:00-14:00 CET) \nEnhancing global collaboration in the domain of research and innovation is key for effectively addressing today’s societal challenges and improving the health and well-being of citizens. This is particularly true for brain disorders\, including both neurological and mental conditions\, which are widespread and highly disabling diseases that are often difficult to treat. The EU has demonstrated its ability to be an important interlocutor in promoting international research collaboration in a wide range of areas\, ranging from problems connected to climate change to issues such as agriculture and energy\, which is expected to deliver promising results in the near future. It is therefore crucial to explore how global research collaboration can support brain research in a meaningful way\, to the benefit of patients across the globe. This session gathers voices from across the world showcasing their international partnerships and the importance of building and fostering international connections in science\, with insight from the European Union\, North America\, Asia\, Oceania\, Africa as well as international organisations. Register to attend HERE. \n  \nDo the SDGs address the global burden of disease? A focus on regional health and research policies (14:00-16:00 CET) \nCo-organised with the European Federation of Neurological Associations (EFNA). Brain disorders\, neurological and mental alike\, have the highest disease burden. Neurological disorders alone are the leading cause of DALYs and second leading cause of deaths worldwide\, affecting one in three people. The leading cause of DALYs by 2030 is projected to be unipolar depressive disorders. Thus\, global momentum to address the threat posed by brain disorders is increasing. In 2018 mental and neurological disorders were added by world leaders to the list of priority non-communicable diseases. In 2019 WHO established a “Brain Health” team. In 2020 WHO Member States requested a resolution on Epilepsy and other neurological disorders that can lead to a global action plan. However\, the existing high-level commitments\, such as Sustainable Development Goals and Universal Health Coverage\, have not afforded brain conditions the political priority that they require and fall short on tangible global commitments to reduce their burden. Strategic linkages to these high-level commitments therefore need to be built\, laying out a strong foundation for an integrated and all-encompassing approach to brain health.

SUMMARY:The future of brain health in Europe
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to an Incisive Health morning club with Frédéric Destrebecq\, Executive Director of the European Brain Council. The discussion will be introduced by Francesca Scassellati Sforzolini\, Managing Director of Incisive Health Brussels\, and moderated by Eduardo Pisani\, Strategic Advisor at Incisive Health.\nBrain disorders are one of the greatest health challenges in the EU. This challenge is accompanied by a substantial global cost to European healthcare budgets and is expected to become even greater as Europe’s population ages. While the most visible health policy initiative launched this year is Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan\, it is noteworthy that the debate on a pharmaceutical policy strategy is also high on the Commission’s agenda. Both initiatives include important opportunities for advocacy on the availability and accessibility of innovative treatments\, including in brain health and research.\nDuring this morning club\, Frédéric Destrebecq will build on his expertise in brain health and research and lead a discussion exploring the future of brain health innovation in Europe. The webinar will be divided into three main discussion themes. In each section\, Frédéric will provide an overview and initial thoughts\, before the discussion is opened up to questions.\nThe event will be held on Thursday 17 September 2020\, 8:30 – 9:30am CET\, using a secure Zoom platform. We would be grateful if you could write to MorningClub@incisivehealth.com by 14 September\, to share the relevant Zoom details.

SUMMARY:FENS Forum 2020 – Special Interest Event: Global Research Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:In the framework of the upcoming FENS Forum 2020\, EBC will co-organize a series of activities within Forum on the topic of Global Research Collaboration\, highlighting the existing partnerships within research—specifically\, brain research—in the European Union\, the United States and Asian countries such as China\, South Korea\, Japan and possibly others. \nThe Special Interest Event will fall on 13 July\, from 9:30-10:30 GMT. It will focus on highlighting the existing partnerships within research—specifically\, brain research—in the European Union\, the United States and Asian countries such as China\, South Korea and Japan. \nFurthermore\, the event will explore and showcase existing global collaboration as well as the potentials for continued expansion and how global research collaboration can support brain research. Various initiatives aimed at reinforcing global research collaboration\, including in the brain research space\, have been launched in recent years. The International Brain Initiative (IBI)\, which brings together the major “brain initiatives” across the globe\, was launched with the ambitious aim of progressing ethical neuroscience research through international cooperation and knowledge sharing. The EBC-led Horizon 2020 project establishing a European Brain Research Area (EBRA) aims to reduce fragmentation in brain research and foster synergies through enhanced coordination of brain research efforts at the EU and global levels. In order to foster alignment and better co-ordination of research strategies across the European brain initiatives\, a Shared European Brain Research Agenda (SEBRA) will be developed under the EBRA project. The SEBRA will focus on research opportunities and research and innovation gaps to be addressed in the field\, priorities for action in the short and long term and research areas that would benefit most from cross – initiatives cooperation. It is through meetings/events such as this one that EBC and EBRA hope to feed into the formation and definition of global cooperation and initiatives with the potential of feeding into a SEBRA. Furthermore\, the EU has launched several Scientific and Technical (S&T) agreements with countries across the globe that provide frameworks for robust research cooperation and enable the development of strategies for enhancing collaboration in a wide range of areas. \nChaired by EBC President\, Prof. Monica Di Luca\, the session will include presentations from Prof. Tracy Bale\, President of the International Brain Research Organisation (IBRO) and Prof. Mohamed Hassan\, President of the World Academy of Sciences as well as pre-recorded video messages on the importance of continued international collaboration in brain research from top country representatives\, including EU Commissioner for Innovation\, Research\, Culture\, Education and Youth\, Mariya Gabriel; US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Director\, Dr Walter J. Koroshetz; Society for Neuroscience (SfN) President\, Prof Barry Everitt; FENS President\, Prof Carmen Sandi and more. \nThese will be followed by a live panel discussion and Q&A\, featuring
