The inaugural event puts Ireland on the world stage, hosting global experts to discover creativity’s impact in areas including social development, technology and entrepreneurship.
The exciting 5-day programme of events takes place from March 12-16, 2022.
Creative Brain week is a celebration and exploration of how the brain and creativity collide to build new ideas in the areas of social development, technology, entrepreneurship, brain health and physical wellbeing. Creativity is everyone’s biggest asset, the brain its starting point and home- together it’s how people solve problems.
Hosted by the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) at Trinity College, in-person and online events make up an exciting programme of exploration with Irish and international experts coming together to celebrate creativity, originality, and its application. Guest speakers include artists, neuroscientists, researchers, educationalists, industry leaders and innovators. Along with speaking events, the week includes panel discussions, talks and a creative exhibition.
This pioneering event explores the intersection of the arts and brain science, delving into discussion on health and wellbeing, productivity, innovation, business, technology, and equity.
Over 100 expert speakers will bring their own perspective and suggest how their thinking and originality might serve humanity into the future. In tandem, a creative exhibition will cover a wide variety of genres and themes from dance to opera to visual art to performances.
Themes explored this week will include: Business and Innovation: Neuroscience and Creativity; Creativity with Neuroscience; The Creative Brain on Arts, Health & Wellness; and Creativity, Neuroscience and Equity.
Speaking about the event, Ian Robertson (pictured), Co-Director of the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) at Trinity College Dublin and UCSF, said:
It’s a privilege to host the inaugural Creative Brain Week here at Trinity College. As a trained clinical psychologist and neuroscientist, I firmly believe that understanding the links and intersections between creativity and neuroscience is crucial for continued innovation and development. Finding creative common ground in a world that is in a state of flux post pandemic will help us strive for better not only in the areas of science but in business, innovation and the arts. I look forward to taking part in the informative programme of events and enjoying the creative exhibition that accompanies the keynote topics this week.
