Clara Center CLARA Days 2026

CLARA Days 2026 will bring together researchers, industry representatives and other partners of the CLARA Centre at Paris Brain Institute on 12–13 November 2026. The programme will combine scientific exchange, discussions with (not only) French research and industry stakeholders, and opportunities for networking and collaboration.

This year’s CLARA Days will feature three complementary parts

• the CLARA Annual Meeting, an internal event for CLARA teams and invited guests
• the CLARA Roundtable with French Science, Business and Industry, hosted at the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Paris
• and the public CLARA Symposium 2026 on AI for Brain Health, hosted by the Paris Brain Institute.

The two public events are free of charge and open to the public, subject to capacity and registration.

CLARA Roundtable with French Science, Business and Industry

The CLARA Roundtable with French Science, Business and Industry will create a focused space for connecting the CLARA community with French researchers, businesses, industry representatives and other stakeholders interested in emerging opportunities at the intersection of artificial intelligence, biomedical research, environmental health and advanced computing.

The roundtable will introduce CLARA and the International Neurodegenerative Research Centre (INDRC) and present their approach to understanding how biological, environmental, clinical and societal factors influence brain health and resilience.

Participation is free of charge and open to the public, subject to capacity and registration.

CLARA Symposium 2026 on AI for Brain Health

The CLARA Symposium on AI for Brain Health is the scientific and public part of CLARA Days 2026. Hosted by the Paris Brain Institute, it will bring together researchers and experts from neuroscience, artificial intelligence, molecular biology, clinical research and high-performance computing to explore how AI can contribute to understanding the brain and improving brain health. The programme will cover AI and molecular biology, novel approaches to phenotyping, and health data and supercomputing facilities, alongside opportunities for scientific exchange and networking.

Highlights of the programme

• AI and Molecular Biology - Exploring how AI can open new ways to understand biological processes relevant to brain health.
• Novel Approaches to Phenotyping - Discovering new AI-driven approaches to capturing and understanding the complexity of the brain.
• CLARA Science Café - Early-career researchers will present their work through short poster pitches, followed by a networking lunch and poster session. An opportunity to discover new research and connect directly with the researchers behind it.
• Quadruple Helix Round Table - Representatives from academia and research, industry, public administration and patient organisations will come together to discuss challenges, opportunities and priorities for advancing AI-driven brain health research and innovation.
• Health Data and Supercomputing Facilities - Exploring how health data, advanced computing and large-scale infrastructure can support new discoveries in brain research.
