SUMMARY:How Should the Neuroscience Community Deal with Pressure to Reduce the Use of Animals in Research? - Workshop at IBRO World Congress 2023
DESCRIPTION:The use of animals in scientific research remains a contentious issue. There is growing political pressure in Europe and the USA for the scientific community to transition towards ‘animal free science’. At the same time perhaps more than in any other field of biomedical research\, it is currently essential to use animals to understand the functions of the brain\, both in basic research and in drug testing. The benefits of the use of animals in research were also evident in the speedy development of the Covid-19 vaccines\, revealing that scientific advances are currently not able to replace animal use across all research and therapeutic areas. How should the neuroscience community address these potentially conflicting pressures? This topic will be addressed during this two-hour workshop by scientists who use animals in scientific research\, those who use non-animal models and a European advocacy groups\, who will provide evidence of how the neuroscience community is seeking to improve communication to the public on the use of animals in research. \nProgramme: \n12:10-12:40 Animal Research: Time to Talk!\nKirk Leech\, Executive Director\, EARA \n12:40-13:10 Response to the European Citizens’ Initiative to Phase Out Animal Experimentation in the EU by the European Brain Council\nProf. Suzanne Dickson\, President\, European Brain Council \n13:10-13:40 A Journey of Animal Neuroscience Research Advocacy in The Netherlands\nProf. Judith Homberg\, Radboud University \n13:40-14:10 Roundtable Discussion\nProf. Roger Adan\, UMC Utrecht Brain Center\nProf. Jose L. Lanciego\, Head of the Functional Neuroanatomy Basal Ganglia Lab of the Center for Applied Medical Research\, University of Navarra\nProf. Sandra Acosta Verdugo\, Universitat de Barcelona \nAll details available on the IBRO World Congress website: here.

SUMMARY:Global Partnerships in Brain Research - Brain Health & Research Day at the Science Summit @ UNGA78
DESCRIPTION:As part of the European Brain Council (EBC)’s Global Partnerships in Brain Research activities\, EBC\, in collaboration with the Baker Institute for Public Policy\, the Brain Capital Alliance\, the Brain Health Nexus and supporting partners will organise an event at the Science Summit at the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA78) on 18 September 2023 at the Harvard Club of New York City. \nIn line with the Science Summit’s core focus of examining policy\, regulatory and financial environments needed to implement and sustain the science mechanisms required to support global scientific collaborations\, the Brain Research Day will highlight the existing partnerships\, roadmaps and potentials of extended global collaboration specifically in the brain area\, in the case of neuroscience but also in addressing brain disorders\, neurological and mental alike. \nAcross the globe\, society is facing brain challenges like never before—improving the health and well-being of citizens has become the top priority for many governments and brain health should not be left behind. Brain disorders\, neurological and mental alike\, are pervasive and pernicious diseases that are often difficult to treat. Enhancing global brain research collaboration can spur innovation and quicken effective outcomes to the benefit of people living with brain conditions everywhere. \nOver the last few years\, EBC has served as a convener for experts in the brain community to share best practices\, exchange ongoing work and align priorities to forge a joint path forward to understand and address the brain rather than in silos across continents. Two main discussions took place over the last year\, first at the SSUNGA77 in New York in September 2022 followed by a full-day event in Brussels on the occasion of Brain Awareness Week\, where it was determined that coming together and addressing global partnerships in a united\, concrete manner was an ideal and vital next step to tackle the global burden of brain disorders together. \nIn order to move past discussion and work towards explicit and tangible next steps in solidifying global efforts in brain research\, EBC proposes a full day event in order to cover a number of important areas for action\, with as many relevant actors involved\, to build towards a Call to Action and Policy Recommendations on Global Partnership in Brain Research to guide national\, regional and global policymakers towards better addressing brain health in the future\, particularly as they prepare for the post-Sustainable Development Goals era (during the Summit of the Future 2024 and the High Level Conference on the UN NCD Strategy 2025). \nView the final programme here and watch the livestream here. \nFor more information and to inquire about attendance\, please contact Stephanie Kramer\, Head of Communications\, Advocacy and Policy at EBC: stkr@braincouncil.eu

SUMMARY:Brain Capital Building @ UNGA: Brain Deals to Harness AI and Drive SDG Implementation by 2030
DESCRIPTION:This conference will present the novel concept of ‘Brain Capital’ which puts a premium on cognitive skills and abilities in accomplishing socio-economic objectives. Building Brain Capital is fundamental for meeting modern societal challenges and driving innovation. The concept has been elaborated by the Neuroscience-inspired Policy Initiative launched by the OECD. Following its success\, the Brain Capital Alliance has now been formed to continue this work toward impact. Given their scope\, Brain Deals – large-scale and brain science inspired policy strategies can harness advanced AI and boost the implementation of several SDGs at the national and global levels. The model of the Brain Deal was recently noted in a Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy Brief here. The event will focus on how Brain Deals can support SDG implementation by 2030. \nSee programme below: \nBrain Capital Building @ UNGA78

SUMMARY:EBC Keynote | Value of Treatment Case Study: Chronic Pain Disorders
DESCRIPTION:During the 2023 European Pain Federation EFIC Congress\, Frédéric Destrebecq\, Executive Director of the European Brain Council\, will deliver a keynote for the session titled “VoT Chronic Pain – Health Gains and Socio-Economic Impacts of Interdisciplinary Multimodal Chronic Pain Management”. \nThe session will discuss more value-based and patient-centred care\, outline the best practice healthcare intervention\, and promote optimised healthcare interventions. \nThis will be the occasion to highlight the work done by the EBC-led Value of Treatment (VoT) project. EBC conceptualised in 2015 the Value of Treatment research framework with a first VOT study to address current unmet needs in healthcare and the increasing all-age burden of brain disorders – both neurological and mental alike. Direct healthcare and non-medical costs of brain disorders are high\, making up for 60% of the total costs (40% attributable to lost productivity) – which EBC estimated at 800 bln€/year in Europe (Gustavsson et al. in the European Neuropsychopharmacology\, 2011). All types of costs increase with the severity and the chronification of the disease. Budgetary restrictions across the EU are threatening the sustainability of the European social welfare model as a whole and make it even more important to achieve cost-effectiveness in the use of resources in health systems and its deliverables. In particular\, challenges are multiple because of the medical\, social and economic impacts of chronic disabling conditions. Together these emphasise the need for an ambitious patient-empowering research policy and an integrated\, multidisciplinary approach to brain disorders. \nAccess the preliminary agenda
