2026 QBIC Symposium: Beyond Silos - The New Ecosystem of Brain Injury Care

Sessions explore data harmonisation, co-design, exercise-related cognition, peer support and translation into practice. Project showcases include AI-supported vocational training, virtual-reality rehabilitation, post-stroke stimulation, concussion assessment and injury biomarkers; a cross-disciplinary pitch competition addresses translation gaps.

Named programme contributors include Fatima Nasrallah (QBIC), Daniel Blackmore (Queensland Brain Institute), Robert Cuthbert (UQ RECOVER Injury Research Centre), and Matilde Balbi (Queensland Brain Institute). The organiser’s preliminary programme may change.
