Children at BNA2025

Our policy regarding children aged 16 or under at the BNA2025 International Festival of Neuroscience is as follows:

Children are welcome to attend as long as they are accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. This includes access to session rooms, talks, poster areas, and the exhibition floor.

Children do not need to pay a registration fee, but they must be accompanied by a registered guardian.

Please provide the number and ages of any accompanying children during the registration process. Delegates bringing children may be contacted for further details before the event.

For any questions, please reach out to [email protected].


If you have dependent children (or any other caring responsibilities) we encourage you to apply for a BNA-Brain Carer grant.

This will help cover any additional costs you may have, associated with meeting these reponsibilities, in order to facilitate your attendance at BNA2025.
