European Month of the Brain

1-31 May 2013, Across Europe

Understanding the human brain and its diseases is one of the greatest scientific and philosophical challenges. During the last few decades, brain research has made great progress on all fronts but much more is still to be discovered.

Advances in neuroscience are crucial to keep our ageing societies and our economy healthy. Some 165 million Europeans are likely to experience some form of brain disorder each year – from anxiety to depression to dementia – and treating these disorders now costs some €800 billion in Europe every year.

The European Month of the Brain is packed with activities to make a difference. There are more than 50 events in 19 countries:

  • to increase our awareness of the importance of brain research and healthcare matters
  • to showcase EU achievements
  • to outline foresight research and policy
  • to improve the resource allocation for brain research and healthcare within and between EU member states and associated countries
  • to lift taboos around mental health

ImagineNano 2013

23-26 April 2013, Bilbao

Bilbao (Spain) will host the 2nd edition of the largest European Event in Nanoscience & Nanotechnology, ImagineNano, from 23-26 April 2013 at Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC).
 
Following the overwhelming success of ImagineNano 2011, several conferences will be held in parallel in a new infrastructure, as well as a vast exhibition, one-to-one meetings and an industrial forum where everyone can meet and greet Nanotechnology side by side.

ImagineNano will thus gather the global nanotechnology community, including researchers, industry policymakers and investors.

Course 'Decision Aid Approaches for Risk Management'

22-26 April 2013, Stuttgart, Germany

Decision making is a process where multiple factors interact to shape the final outcome. Those factors can be technical, informational, emotional/psychological, cultural. Nevertheless, the limited rationality of economic operators makes the decision exercise more and more difficult in a more and more complex world. Safety management requires short, mid and long term decisions that may highly influence the ability of the organization to cope with its risks.

At the end of the course, students are expected to have basic knowledge about:
- Main descriptive and prescriptive concepts related to decision making in risk management
- A vision of the key decision making moments of risk management frameworks
- A global vision of the tools available to improve the way managers are dealing with decision making.

The registration is free of charge, anyone interested in the topic are welcome on the course. Please note, however, that the course is intended for 20-25 participants. The registrations will be processed on the first-applied-first-served basis.
