Creative Brain Week Dublin

This event has ended

Naughton Institute, Monday 9th June - Friday 13th June

Creative Brain Week: A heady mix of World-Leading Neuroscientists, Educationalists, Health Policy Makers, Artists and Innovators exploring the brain and creativity.

This year’s theme is “Activating Kindness”.
Is kindness vital in unkind times? What is the value of kindness? How do neurologists and psychologists understand kindness? What motivates people to acts of kindness? Where does kindness interact with creativity and healthcare?

Join us for a week of curiosity designed to stimulate creative brains — combining in-person and online events. Blending familiar elements with fresh approaches — thought-provoking talks, a rich creative programme and exhibitions — this year also introduces Threads: small group sessions designed to spark action and shape the future.

Most in person events take place in the Naughton Institute, (previously the Science Gallery), Trinity College Dublin.  Events are free, but due to space limitations, both online and in person events must be booked in advance.
