Brain Awareness Week 2026 – 28th edition

22 public events, 20 school presentations, 1 presentation dedicated to seniors.

What do cognitive classes bring to school learning? When your ears get tired, does your brain get confused? Can you play sports in peace? How do we experience our fears? Is teenage angst a necessary stage? Does diet affect our memory? What does the future hold when a degenerative disease is diagnosed at an early age? These are just some of the questions addressed during more than 20 events offered during the latest edition of Brain Awareness Week in our region (Montpellier, Sète, Agde, and St Hippolyte).

Brain enthusiasts—researchers, Professors, clinicians, students—from our region's large community of neuroscience scientists offer a rich and diverse program to share their knowledge with the general public and schoolchildren. Workshops, film discussions, theater, conferences and round tables, philosophical and scientific bars—there's something for everyone and every curiosity!

Don't miss this annual event, which is free and open to all, to discover the latest advances in brain research.

Brain Awareness Week is held under the auspices of the Society for Neuroscience, in partnership with the Federation for Brain Research and the Ministry of Higher Education, Research Space.

In Montpellier, the association La Comédie des neurones coordinates this free event open to the general public ( except for film screenings and certain plays). It brings together a team ready to share knowledge, interact with the public, and make this event a festive occasion for exchange.
