The Brain Awareness Week is a global campaign that aims at increasing public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research. Every March, universities, hospitals, government agencies, patient groups, etc. organize creative and innovative activities to educate and excite people of all ages about the brain and brain research. Supported by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives and European Dana Alliance for the Brain and many local initiatives, the 17th Brain Awareness Week will take place from March 12-18, 2012.
