Brain health 2026

In January, the European partnership for Brain Health will launch two calls for proposals for multinational translational research projects. Brain disorders are a leading cause of disability and death globally and pose major challenges for people living with these conditions, their families, social relationships, and professional and informal carers. The aim of the call is to facilitate multinational, collaborative and interdisciplinary research that addresses critical translational questions. Applications for this call should address how biological, social and environmental factors affect the trajectory of neurological, mental and sensory disorders across the lifespan. It is crucial to identify the factors that influence brain health across the life course – from the fetal stage to older age – as well as methods to monitor these factors, influence them, or both.
