About Creative Brain Week
Creative Brain Week, a Global Brain Health Institute initiative (GBHI) at Trinity College Dublin, and supported across Trinity’s many departments and institutes, is an exploration of how brain science and creativity collide to seed new ideas in social development, technology, entrepreneurship, culture, wellbeing, and physical, mental and brain health throughout our lives. It examines and promotes the inter-disciplinary neuroscience of creativity and the brain and all its practical applications, while at the same time highlighting the importance of Ireland and Trinity in this emergent field.
The inaugural event featuring exhibitions and talks by scientists, artists and innovators engages the public across the digital and physical Campus of Trinity College Dublin and out into the heart of the City between March 12th and March 16th 2022.
