What is Brain Awareness Week?

Brain Awareness Week is organized worldwide by Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives and the Society for Neuroscience to increase public awareness about the progress, future, and benefits of brain research.

Organizations and institutions throughout the world stimulate public interest in brain science through special events and educational activities during the annual celebration of Brain Awareness Week.

In 2002, 1479 scientific institutions, patient advocacy groups, government agencies, service groups, hospitals, universities, K-12 schools and affiliates in 52 countries across 6 continents participated.

Some of the many Brain Awareness Week events across Canada are listed below. More information about BAW activites across the country can also be found in the Canadian Association for Anatomy, Neurobiology and Cell Biology newsletter the ANCHOR.

As a collaborative effort, Brain Awareness Week provides its partners with a rare opportunity to focus national and international attention on our common interests in ways that our individual efforts seldom can.

The Saskatchewan Neuroscience Network is proud to host the Brain Awareness Week activities this year from March 18-25th, 2007. Our program of events has been significantly expanded from previous years, including a week long seminar series and many new activities during the Brain BLAST (formerly Brain Show).
