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:Neurological diseases: Lessons learnt from COVID and the future of neuroscience
DESCRIPTION:EFNA\, EFPIA and EBC are delighted to invite you to join the virtual event:  “Neurological diseases: Lessons learnt from COVID and the future of neuroscience” taking place on  28 September from 12:00 until 13:00 CEST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccess to care\, treatments and trustworthy information has become very difficult during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. How has this impacted the community of patients with neurological diseases and what can we learn from their experience? What is the role of thought leaders and patient bloggers in such a crisis? How can industry and patient organisations work better together to find solutions and in the longer run: how will the future of neuroscience look like? \nThese are the questions we will aim to discuss during our one- hour interactive webinar with our panelists: \nBirgit Bauer\, Blogger and social media expert living with MS\nDonna Walsh\, Executive Director\, EFNA\nVanessa Pott\, Director\, Global Patient Insights and Advocacy\, Merck \nThe discussion will be moderated by Jacki Davis. \n\nPlease join us and register via the link here.

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.
