Auckland Brain Day: CANCELLED

Update: This event has been cancelled.

Experience the excitement of the human brain at Brain Day 2020!

Join us for an all-day event at the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at the University of Auckland Grafton campus.

This event brings together community groups and members of the public who are interested in or have a neurological condition or know a friend or whanau member living with a neurological condition.

A collaborative event hosted by the Centre for Brain Research, Brain Research New Zealand and the Neurological Foundation, it's a great opportunity to speak directly with community groups who support those living with a neurological condition as well as hear more about the latest research direct from the researchers and clinicians working in this field.

There are interactive science displays and activities for the kids to get involved and experience the excitement of the human brain up close.
