Description
The Lundbeck Foundation’s Science Engagement and Communication programme supports public engagement with research-based knowledge about neuroscience, the brain and brain-related disorders. Its two central goals are to inspire young people to pursue science, particularly neuroscience, as a career and to communicate knowledge about the brain and its disorders to the public. Priorities include understanding the nervous system, explaining the consequences of brain disorders, reducing stigma and clarifying the conditions of health research.
The programme emphasises inclusive engagement and active participation, including projects targeting higher education. It also seeks to recruit and retain talent in biomedical and health science, particularly neuroscience-related disciplines such as psychiatry. Supported formats include knowledge sharing, exhibitions, festivals, podcasts, lectures, documentaries, television series and explainers.
