Brain Awareness Week

Brain Awareness Week (BAW) was pioneered by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives (DABI) currently coordinated by the DABI and the European Dana Alliance for the Brain (EDAB). The first BAW was organized by the DABI in 1996 bringing together diverse groups from the academia, government, professional and NGOs with the common theme that brain research will be an important tool to find treatments, possible cures and ways to prevent brain diseases.
