Innovations in Neuroscience of Movement, Neurorehabilitation, and Digital Health

15–19 June 2026 | Piran, Slovenia

We are pleased to announce TBrainBoost Summer School 3.0, taking place 15–19 June 2026 in the coastal town of Piran, Slovenia. This international summer school will focus on neurorehabilitation, digital health, and innovation, bringing together leading researchers, clinicians, and industry experts working at the intersection of brain, body, and technology.

The 2026 edition marks the 3th consecutive TBrainBoost summer school, building on a strong tradition of high-level scientific content, international participation, and an engaging social programme.
