The European Dana Alliance for the Brain (EDAB) is an organisation of 212 eminent brain scientists, including five Nobel laureates, from 29 countries.
Launched in 1997, and modelled on the US-based Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, EDAB is committed to enhancing the public’s understanding of why brain research is so important.
EDAB brings the excitement of scientific progress to the general public and opinion-formers by working in partnership with charities, universities, schools, hospitals, the arts, the media and professional organisations.
Every March, EDAB coordinates Brain Awareness Week, during which hundreds of public events in dozens of countries celebrate the progress of brain research.
