The problems of the world are many and varied. All we have is creativity and imagination, our brains and each other. How do we connect, collaborate and continue? What is the value of our senses?

In 2026, Creative Brain Week expanded across Dublin in collaboration with renowned cultural spaces as we celebrated 10 years of the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) and 5 years of Creative Brain Week—elevating discussion, discovery, and developments where brain science and creativity converge.

Each year, the programme reflects our commitment to creativity, community, inter-disciplinarity, equity and the transformative power of collaboration, as well as our active response to transition and turmoil.

Alongside global and local innovators, Creative Brain Week 2026 drew on the maturing programs and initiatives it catalysed to show how inspired intelligence is creating positive transformations for brain health, individuals, communities and you.

We were joined online and in person for a week of curiosity designed to stimulate creative brains. Blending familiar elements with fresh approaches

Events were held at the Naughton Institute and Samuel Beckett Theatre in Trinity College Dublin, The Royal Irish Academy of Music (RIAM) and the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA).
