The European Commission has recently funded a Mediterranean Neuroscience Network: NEuroMed, with the aim of supporting Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPC) research institutions infrastructure and potential development in brain research. The project, built on existing collaborations and local networks (http://gdrineuro.googlepages.com/), gathers a strong human potential from 23 Universities and research centres from 7 countries (Algeria, Egypt, France, Italy, Morocco, Spain, Turkey). More precisely, the objectives are to promote and improve: (1) twinning between centres of excellence in the EU and the MPC; (2) recruitment, training and secondments in MPC centres; (3) transfer of knowledge and expertise to the MPC research centres; (4) physical research infrastructure in MPC centres. NEuroMed focuses on four major relevant societal issues: neurodegenerative and mental diseases, neuroplasticity, adaptation to environmental stress and brain imaging, where cooperation with EU research entities can help increase the human potential and physical infrastructure in MPC.
During this social, partners will meet for the first time after the European Commission has accepted the project.
