Sleep. We can't live or learn without it, but how much do we know about what's happening in our brains while we snooze? In Brain Awareness Week 2024 and on the eve of World Sleep Day, join us for an engaging evening with our scientific panel as we explore the world of sleep.

In QBI’s 20th year, please think ahead. Support critical brain research by giving now to QBI’s Brain Research Endowment Fund.

The Queensland Brain Institute has a team for Bridge to Brisbane and we hope you’ll consider lacing up your runners to support QBI in either the 4.5km or 10km race, all whilst raising funds for critical brain research.

This is a Dementia fundraiser event, supporting the Alastair Rushworth Alzheimer's Research Fund to continue the work of the Clem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research at QBI. In 2023, the QBI Lexus Spring High Tea will be hosted in the ballroom at the Victoria Park Golf Club. The afternoon will include high tea and French champagne.
