On June 3rd, 2021, at Comwell Borupgaard, we gathered around 40 researchers from BrainDrugs as well as three representatives from the Lundbeck Foundation for the BrainDrugs annual meeting 2021. The meeting was hosted as a hybrid meeting with another 15-20 researchers attending online. For many of the participants this meeting was the first larger physical meeting in a long time because of the covid-19 lockdown period so it was fantastic to be able to gather so many.

The meeting program consisted of a series of inspiring scientific presentations, but already on the night before the scientific program, the BrainDrugs Early-Career Forum met at the venue for a dinner and some social gathering where NRU post doc Vibeke Dam had arranged some fun group-based competitions. This was indeed a nice oppurtunity for many of them to meet face-to-face for the first time.
