In June a Brain Symposium was held which connected researchers in the brain sciences between UConn and UConn Health.
The Institute's annual Meet and Speak event was opened with remarks by the Vice President of Research, Radenka Maric, in which she describes the Institute as an "engine of innovation".

IBACS and BIRC hosted tours of the Brain Research Center for high school students from E.O Smith and Middletown High School. Positive feedback from the students showed that they left the trip informed and inspired.
