We worden nogmaals uitgezonden op 31 maart rond 15.00 uur op RTL5. Dus zet de tijden in je agenda!
Op woensdag 6 december a.s. begint om 21.25 uur op NPO1 het programma 'Geef om je Hersenen' van Omroep Max in samenwerking met de Hersenstichting. Voor dit programma zijn er opnames gemaakt in het UMCU Utrecht waarbij onze ambassadrice Marjolein van der Kist haar indrukwekkende verhaal vertelt en een controle scan ondergaat. Prof. Bart van der Zwan komt aan het woord over het belang van onderzoek binnen de neurochirurgie en over de Elana techniek.
Kijken dus op 6 december, 21.25 uur NPO 1!
BTI doet weer mee aan het Weekend van de Wetenschap. Op zaterdag 1 oktober 2016 kun je in een in-vitro setting zelf proberen om een bypass te maken in een training device. Dit apparaat is ontworpen om neurochirurgen te laten oefenen met de ELANA bypass techniek. Tevens kun je leren om op een hechtpad chirurgische hechtingen plaatsen.
Onderzoekers en neurochirurgen zullen deze dag aanwezig zijn om je te assisteren en al jouw vragen te beantwoorden.
Dit jaar vindt onze activiteit plaats in het Universiteitsmuseum Utrecht. Voor meer informatie, klik hier.

The first edition of the BTI Brain Campaign 2016 took place from January 22nd-30th in collaboration with Catawiki, the world’s leading and fastest growing online auction house for art and exceptional items and collectables.
We organized this digital art auction to generate attention and to raise funds for BTI. Due to it's success the Brain Campaign is now being continued with an after sale, with some new works, some extra editions of prints and a few works that were almost sold in the previous auction, but which bids were just below the reserve price. So this is your second chance! Please go to http://auction.catawiki.com/lotsfrom/BT-I to take this chance. The auction is now open and will end on Saturday February 13th, 8PM CET.
As in the previous auction: Catawiki has again very generously waived their seller commission, so 50% of the proceeds will go to BTI and 50% will go to the artist. A real win-win: people can buy high-end contemporary art and the proceeds will directly benefit our research.

Meer over Weekend van de Wetenschap
Op meer dan 150 locaties door heel Nederland beleef je live wetenschap & technologie op 4 en 5 oktober 2014. Alleen tijdens het Weekend van de Wetenschap openen bedrijven, instituten, universiteiten, (onderzoeks-)instellingen en musea exclusief hun normaal gesloten deuren. Nieuwsgierige mensen van jong tot oud krijgen op deze manier de unieke kans binnen te kijken in de wereld van wetenschap en technologie.
Op de website www.hetweekendvandewetenschap.nl is de meest actuele lijst van deelnemende organisaties en activiteiten opgenomen.
In order to generate more awareness about BTI and its objectives, we have decided to focus our marketing efforts on art and culture. Although seemingly different areas of interest, science and art have a lot in common: they are both related to innovation, research, open-mindedness, (improvement of) quality, and the like. These commonalities possess the power to reach a broad range of people and get them to support BTI’s mission.
As a result, we are proud to team up with the first edition of the Amsterdam Art Fair , which will take place this week. We hope to see you there!
On Thursday December 4th, you are cordially invited for the opening of an exclusive art exhibition to raise funds for the Annemarie Tulleken Fellowship, an international 'traveling observership' for young neurosurgeons.
The exhibition follows a symposium on new 'State-of-the-Art' developments in neurosurgery to celebrate 10 years of the lifesaving Elana technique (www.elana.com). 50% of the proceeds of each sold art work will directly benefit the funding of BTI's fellowship.
We believe that medical technology, just like art, are creative disciplines with the capacity to make our world a better place. They both need qualities such as intelligence and ambition, persional vision and perseverance to be successful. We can not do without medical science, like we cannot do without works of art to feed our mind and caress the eye.
We hope you will support this initiative by purchasing a work of art or make a small donation and look forward to seeing you on December 4th!

On June 14, 2014 BTI hosted the 1st annual triathlon, the BTI@hlon, to raise awareness on and raise funds for research to help patients with life-threatening vascular brain diseases. The race took place in the beautiful countryside of Spain (Alicante province) BTI@hlon. Next to the athletes, co-organizers, volunteers and the band TSwings, we would specifically like to thank all sponsors. In total we raised over €10.000! Another special thanks go to two companies that donated great gear: Nike and Hi-Tec.
In 2016 we will organise the 2nd edition of this fun event for a great cause. More news on that soon!
BTI hosted, in collaboration with Lenox Hill Hospital and the Cushing Neuroscience Institute, a stimulating lecture and roundtable discussion on the future of neurovascular diseases featuring renowned vascular neurosurgeons from Europe, USA and Canada. This event was followed by a dinner in order to raise funds to improve the education for young neurosurgeons on cerebral bypasses.
We would like to express our profound gratitude for Mr. G. Blythe's generosity in donating $10,000 to BTI during this dinner. His support has been a major contribution in making our first fundraising event a success. Up until now we have raised over $15,000 and funds are still coming in through CAF America.
