Under the New Regional Policy (NRP), the Federal Government supports border regions in coping with changes in economic structures. This includes improving hard and soft locational factors of a region as well as promoting innovation, the creation of value and competitiveness in a sustainable way. By supporting the Interneuron project, the Swiss confederation contributes to creating and maintaining jobs in the upper-Rhine valley and thus indirectly to evening out regional disparities.

 

 

  Eurométropole de Strasbourg logoEurometropoleStrasbourgdrapeauFrance

Today, economic competitiveness is increasingly a race to innovation, the success of which depends on several factors: the quality of skills training, the long-term supply of qualifications and the favourable environment for research. The transfer of technology and know-how as well as applied research at the highest level also play a crucial role. The Eurométropole supports the Interneuron program so as to contribute to the overall attractiveness of the territory in terms of knowledge and technology transfer.

World GLOBAL NEUROPSYCHIATRY GROUP (GNG)

GNG 250The GNG is a virtual group established to provide a forum for psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists, neurophysiologists, clinical neuroscientists and others interested in the field of neurosciences to share knowledge and to learn from each other. The aim of the group is to make neuropsychiatry accessible across the globe. Clinicians have an opportunity to discuss complex cases and share research ideas. The group is truly international. It has been active since 2021 and already has approximately 200 members from US, Canada, SA, UK, Germany, India, Australia and many more countries. Accordingly, it also enables an understanding of service provision and clinical practices in different countries around the world and opens the door for multinational research. In addition, mindful of the gap in training for neurology trainees in psychiatry and psychiatry trainees in neurology across the globe, this forum provides a source of education and a way of establishing networks not only with peers but also with senior clinicians and academics. Professionals interested in the interface between neurology and psychiatry are invited to join the Global Neuropsychiatry Group : more details here.
