The European Dana Alliance for the Brain
The European Dana Alliance for the Brain (EDAB) is an organization of more than 170 eminent brain scientists, including five nobel laureates, from 27 countries.
Launched in 1997, and modelled on the US-based Dana Alliance for the Brain Initiatives, EDAB is committed to enhancing the public's understanding of why brain research is so important
EDAB brings the excitement of scientific progress to the general public and opinion-formers by working in partnership with charities, universities, schools, hospitals, the arts, the media and professional organizations. Every March, EDAB coordinates Brain Awareness Week, during which hundreds of public events in dozens of countries celebrate the progress of brain research. EDAB has offices at the Dana Centre in London, UK; and in Lausanne, Switzerland.
