NeuroDesign – How the built environment can impact mental health and quality of life through advanced neuroscience

Organised by: Vinnova
Digitally Thu 21 Mar 2024 at 11:00-11:45

NeuroDesign is a new interdisciplinary research field about how the brain reacts to built environments and how these impact people psychologically and physiologically. Knowledge about how the brain reacts to built environments has groundbreaking potential to revolutionise urban planning and work aimed at human (health), ecological and economic sustainability, contributing to the UN Goals.

World-leading interdisciplinary research in this field is currently being conducted in the UK at the Institute for Behavioural Neuroscience, together with The Bartlett Faculty of The Built Environment. Both institutions are part of University College London (UCL) and are internationally top-ranked for their research excellence in both neuroscience and architecture. Cutting-edge research can create unique opportunities for Sweden as the first nation in the world implementing new principles in urban planning.

In this session we will dig into this new research area and listen to Ms Isabelle Sjövall, who will tell us more about her research and results.

Speakers

  • Isabelle Sjövall, Institute for Behavioural Neuroscience vid University College London (UCL)
  • Alma Jacobson, Vinnova – Sweden´s Innovation Agency, who will moderate this side-session
