About ELePHiNt
ELePHiNt was founded in 2022 to bring together researchers from around the world studying early life and prenatal health in neurodevelopment. What began as an online conference has since evolved into a growing international initiative, with two successful in-person conferences held in Canada and Germany. As interest in this field continues to grow, fostering global collaboration becomes more and more crucial—and ELePHiNt is proud to help lead that effort. We are currently planning our third in-person event for 2026 - stay tuned for details!
