The “International Multi-Brain Barcelona Congress”, in its first edition, is a pioneering international congress in the integration of three major thematic areas of the study of the brain: the healthy brain, the pathological brain and the artificial brain, with the aim of deciphering the complexity of human brain function.
It will focus on the latest discoveries in the field of neuroscience from a translational perspective: from basic studies in the laboratory, through clinical studies with patients in order to reach the health benefits and knowledge transferred to the whole society.
The main objective of the congress is to bring together neuroscientists from all over the world from different disciplines (Medicine, Psychology, Pharmacy, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, and Computer Science) and patients (through advocacy societies), to share new scientific discoveries and generate synergies to advance in the whole field of brain knowledge. We are therefore facing an unbeatable meeting point for experts and patients that will provide a benefit to human health, well-being and knowledge.

Institute of Neurosciences of the Universitat de Barcelona
The Institute of Neurosciences (UBneuro) was created under the premise to gather all research at the University of Barcelona that focused on a common goal: understanding the nervous system as a whole to give response to society challenges. It is a frontrunner in international neuroscience research, being one of the few institutes in the world that investigates the brain at every level. This includes research groups in neurobiology, neuropharmacology, pathophysiology, neurology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, neuropsychobiology and cognitive neurosciences. The Institute was awarded with the María de Maeztu Excellence Unit accreditation MDM-2017, and gathers near to 450 researchers from the University of Barcelona, in the multicultural city of Barcelona. We encourage and welcome collaboration with international research groups and organisations.
