Brain disorders — neurological and mental alike — represent a major threat to the life of European citizens and pose one of the greatest challenges to health systems and society.

The European Brain Foundation (EBF) is an independent multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder charity whose founding members represent leading European neurological, neurosurgical, and psychiatric clinical societies as well as neuroscience research societies and patient organisations. The Foundation’s main mission is to support research aimed at reducing the burden of brain disorders on society and to contribute to boosting the brain health of every European citizen.

By coordinating all the partners concerned in this domain, the EBF will ensure the transparency and the sustainability of its actions. Donors will contribute to significantly reduce the impact of one of the biggest health challenges European society is currently facing.  

The EBF will reinforce collaboration within the brain research community — facilitating and coordinating high level research — in order to unite disciplines and ensure diverse and valuable research expertise will work towards developing new knowledge as well as innovative and effective interventions. This way, the EBF will create an active interface for matchmaking between developers and potential donors.
