Having carefully evaluated the risks, feasibility, and needs of the neuroscience community with respect to the ongoing COVID19 situation, the British Neuroscience Association Trustees, in agreement with the UK Dementia Research Institute as Festival Partner, today announce the decision hold the April 2021 Festival as an online-only event.
Additionally, the online Festival will now run between Monday 12th April and Thursday 15th April 2021, and BNA2023 will be held in Brighton.
This was a very difficult decision, but after considering all factors, we feel confident this is the right one for our neuroscience community at this time. To help explain:

We look forward to working with you all to create the first ever online Festival of Neuroscience.
