Brain, Environmental Exposure and Diseases.

Formerly MENA Brain Week, the congress enters its fifth edition with a broadened international mission rooted in Nairobi, Kenya.

2027 congress title

Multiple environmental exposures and their impact on the brain.

The congress focuses on challenges, vulnerabilities and solutions for future generations and socio-economic development.

Environmental risks do not act in isolation. Their effects interact with neurological health, social conditions, policy, access to care and the capacity of communities to respond. BEED Congress 2027 creates one platform where those connections can be examined together.
