Descripción del proyecto
Mentes formadas para la salud mental
La población mundial no es cada vez más joven, sino que está envejeciendo y poniendo nuestros sistemas de salud bajo presión para hacer frente a las enfermedades relacionadas con la edad. En Europa, se necesita innovación, conocimientos y expertos capaces de provocar cambios significativos a fin de mejorar la predicción, el diagnóstico temprano y la prevención de las enfermedades neurodegenerativas con la prioridad de garantizar la salud mental a lo largo de la vida. En este sentido, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos Neuro-Innovation establecerá un programa doctoral de formación de nuevos expertos internacionales que se convertirán en los futuros líderes de la innovación en materia de salud mental. Se centrará en la neuroinnovación, el impacto y la neuroética, a través de una combinación de conocimientos de neurociencia, gestión innovadora, ciencias sociales y otras ciencias para garantizar una amplia gama de capacidades transferibles.
Objetivo
The Neuro-Innovation doctoral programme is a new, globally unique effort to train international experts who are wanted in the European job market and future research leaders in brain health innovation. These experts will learn to solve innovation-related questions in personalized medicine that focuses on the prediction, prevention and early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases and epilepsy. They will have skills to develop novel treatments and commercialize their research results in the form of new technologies, models, and methods in the European and global markets. Health care is globally faced with a growing burden of major age-associated diseases. Neuro-innovation and impact as well as neuro-ethics are needed to survive these challenges and maintain brain health throughout life. This will be gained by offering world class research-oriented PhD training that combines neurosciences with innovation management, social sciences and law, and computer science and applied physics. In depth substance knowledge and methodology training will be topped up with well-planned transferable skills curricula providing the graduates with skills needed in changing career paths after their initial researcher training. Other means to achieve training goals include well-planned mobility periods to international research environments of partner universities, meaningful secondments with companies, and frequent exposure to intersectoral activities in training. The Neuro-Innovation doctoral programme will take the researcher training to the next level in terms of research excellence developed within two regional health innovation ecosystems that benefits both parties. The Neuro-Innovation programme will create critical mass for a new talent hub for university-industry collaboration. Several measures will be taken to attract female and minority candidates, and applicants from new EU countries and those that do not have strong PhD training in the research filed of this programme.
