Educational Day
This year the committee have decided to collect a group of unique ideas into an Educational Day here at Brain 2025, being held on Sunday 1 June 2025. The committee have curated a unique set of educational courses that you can participate throughout the day.
This will also be an opportunity to network and gain exposure in a smaller learning environment.
