BNA2027 International Festival of Neuroscience

BNA2027 is the British Neuroscience Association's 8th International Festival of Neuroscience and is scheduled for 25-28 April 2027 at ICC Belfast. The organisers describe it as Europe's largest neuroscience gathering of 2027, with more than 1,000 researchers, clinicians, industry leaders and patient representatives expected. The scientific programme is expected to span fundamental research, clinical practice and commercial innovation through plenaries, symposia, workshops and large-scale sessions. Session submissions are currently the main actionable opportunity: the call for symposia and workshops runs from 1 March to 31 May 2026 through Oxford Abstracts, with outcomes expected in June 2026. Poster abstract information, registration fees, trainee or student rates, CPD accreditation and the registration deadline have not yet been published. The programme page states that the full scientific programme will be released in September 2026, and the registration page currently offers an interest form for updates on submissions, registration and posters. The venue page highlights ICC Belfast as a central city-centre venue with strong airport, rail and ferry links, modern auditorium and breakout-room capacity, and technical infrastructure suitable for a large international neuroscience meeting.
