Wat een succesvolle Brain Awareness Week 2023 op het Erasmus University College! 🧠
In slechts zes dagen hadden we een fantastische opkomst van meer dan 300 deelnemers, variërend van 8 tot 60+ jaar oud. Het evenement omvatte drie boeiende nachtelijke lezingen, 26 experimentele neurowetenschappelijke activiteiten, mini-lezingen en interactieve VR-ervaringen. Daarnaast waren er vier informatieve hersengerelateerde workshops en twee inzichtelijke hersendissecties.
We waren blij met de ruim 50 sprekers, waaronder (EUC) studenten, docenten, onderzoekers, verschillende Neuroscience labs van het Erasmus Medisch Centrum en externe deskundigen. Het evenement omvatte ook twee uitzonderlijke muziekoptredens.

Youth development is often examined as a period of risks and opportunities, given that brain development continues into the early twenties in interplay with social experiences.
