MINDED Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowships for International Students

Up
to 12 MINDED Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowships are now available for
experienced researchers. International students are eligible to apply for this
fellowship.
The
MINDED program will establish a new class of scientists, trained to integrate
their knowledge over the fields of nanomedicine, neuroscience, and robotics,
with the aim of developing new approaches for the diagnosis, imaging, and
treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Neurodevelopmental
disorders (NDDs) are characterized by brain function deficits that usually show
up early in children and can run throughout the lifetime of individuals. These
deficits can affect memory as well as ability to learn, socialize and maintain
self-control. The societal and economic impact is therefore important for the
affected patients, their families, and society. MINDED wants to change the way
these disorders are studied and treated, by combining Nanomedicine, Molecular
Neuroscience, and Cognitive Neuroscience Robotics. This novel approach is the
basis of the MINDED educational program, led by IIT in Italy and involving 15
partners worldwide.
