Brain Awareness Week 2026
March 16, 2026
Brain Awareness Week, taking place from March 16 to March 22, 2026, is a global celebration of neuroscience that has offered the public a chance to explore the latest discoveries about the brain since 1996.
The Dana Foundation provides free digital resources, activity ideas for kids, adults, and virtual events, as well as a Social Media ToolKit to support the many organizers participating in the campaign.
In France, la Semaine du Cerveau has been organized by the French Neuroscience Society (Société des Neurosciences) since its launch in 1999. The full program of more than 700 free events held in over 100 cities across France is available on the official Semaine du Cerveau website: https://www.semaineducerveau.fr/programme-manifestations/.

Over the past 12 months, our long-standing collaboration with Observatoire B2V des mémoires has allowed us to:
- revisit, with Francis Eustache, the idea that “we never remember alone“: our individual memories are deeply rooted in the social fabric that surrounds us
- learn more about Lewy body disease, often confused with Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease or even depression, thanks to insights from Vincent Mouilleseaux
- interview three women researchers about their careers and changes in the research landscape on the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2026: we thank Catherine Thomas-Antérion, Hélène Amieva and Juliette Van Eycken for sharing their experiences
- produce our 2nd comic strip on concussion with scientific input from Christine Moroni, professor of neuropsychology and researcher at the PSITEC laboratory in Lille (France).
