Research Month

June is Encephalitis Research Month.

Launched in 2019, Encephalitis Research Month is designed to highlight the need for more funding into encephalitis research.

There is a funding gap in research into encephalitis compared with other neurological conditions.

This is despite encephalitis having a higher incidence rate in many countries than other neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis/ALS, bacterial meningitis, motor neurone disease and cerebral palsy.

Throughout June, we will be talking about all things encephalitis research: from the current state of encephalitis research, through to success stories, profiles of leading researchers, events, what lies ahead in the future, and much more.
