    Encephalitis affects one person every minute and cases continue to rise with the emergence of new viruses, endemic areas and types of autoimmune encephalitis. We know that prompt diagnosis and treatment in all types of encephalitis is critically important, both in saving lives and limiting brain injury. Research is crucial in facilitating this. This is why we are committed for providing a platform for encephalitis researchers to share their work, connect with patients and access funding grants.

    Encephalitis International has a strong track record of supporting both clinical and academic trainees through doctoral fellowships and enabling seed funding in resource limited settings. We host the annual Encephalitis Conference at the Royal College of Physicians, hosting 469 delegates from 57 countries in 2023, to share their research work. This funding will facilitate the next generation of encephalitis researchers.
