From Lab Insights to Lived Experience
Once again, we welcome you for an event that blurs the borders between neuroscience and art, this time spotlighting mental health.
Still, it goes a bit deeper than that. Minds In Motion immerses the audience in an active exploration and connects the dots between personal stories, the latest research findings, and live performances. A timely, much-needed event to shed new light on the common, yet still far from the common conversation.
Minds in Motion as also an opportunity for enriching exchanges with professionals, researchers, artists, and non-specialists during the social gathering following the performances.
Together, let’s close the gap between neuroscience labs and real life with art and story.
Minds in Motion 2026 agenda:
20:00 – 20:15 Opening
20:15 – 21:45 Performances & Conferences
21:45 – 22:30 Conversation & Networking
