This year, we are celebrating 10 years of the Global Brain Health Institute’s growing impact around the world and 5 years of Creative Brain Week’s emerging network.
Delegates heard how “Thinking. Better. Together.” is improving brain health and reducing the impact of conditions like Alzheimer’s disease as ideas born in Dublin have an impact on culture, commerce and care, all around the world.
