RISE at European Brain Economy Summit
On 5 May 2026 in Brussels, the European Brain Economy Summit will open its doors for a truly unique gathering: a cross-disciplinary conversation about how brain health can drive health, longevity and prosperity for all Europeans. RISE is one of the co-hosts and will hold a seminar about nesting the brain in the built environment.
During the European Brain Economy Summit, RISE will hold a seminar about nesting the brain in the built environment - how to change the way we design spaces to take better account of what our brains need most? Neuroarchitecture and neurodesign is a new interdisciplinary research area exploring how the brain responds to built environments and how design affects people psychologically and physiologically. It combine neuroscience with architecture, design and AI to create environments that promote health, well-being and productivity.
