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.

The European Brain Council is pleased to announce that the Final Conference of the Coordination and Support Action (CSA) BrainHealth will take place on 15 October 2025 as a featured session of the 2025 Brain Innovation Days in Brussels.

After two years of collaborative efforts with national funders, research leaders, patient representatives and key stakeholders, the CSA BrainHealth is set to present the strategic foundation of the upcoming European Partnership for Brain Health (EP BrainHealth) – an ambitious joint effort of the European Commission and Member States to transform how Europe supports brain research, brain health, innovation and care.

With neurological and mental disorders being the leading cause of disability worldwide, the need for coordinated action has never been more urgent. This conference offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore the vision, priorities and long-term goals of EP BrainHealth before its formal launch in January 2026. Spanning critical topics such as innovation, capacity building, international collaboration and systemic change across the brain ecosystem, this high-level event is key for those seeking to understand how the European Union will shape the future of brain health – for citizens, healthcare systems and society as a whole. Whether you’re a policymaker, researcher, healthcare innovator or a civil society representative, this event will provide a first look at a historic new phase in Europe’s brain health journey.
