Project description
A European partnership is elevating neuroscience research and training in Kiev
There is much truth to the adage 'when we all pull together, we all pull ahead', and the scientific community is no exception. Many world-class institutions with highly capable personnel lack the resources to be players on the global research stage. Exploiting the potential at these institutions enhances cross-fertilisation of ideas and spurs outcomes with downstream benefits for the medical communities and individual health. It also becomes a self-sustaining endeavour as a global reputation results in increased funding. NEUROTWIN is bringing together mentors from five European countries to support the elevation of an important Ukrainian research institute to a Centre of Excellence in Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience. The future is bright for neuroscience and neurology in the Ukraine.
Objective
The overarching goal of the NEUROTWIN proposal is to re-establish the Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (BIPH) in Kiev, Ukraine as an international centre for excellence in Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience. This goal is set against a sound background of the existing infrastructure, intellectual traditions and the highly educated manpower. That is the adherence to modern procedures and international research environment which all have to be strengthened to achieve the European dimension and to integrate the Institute into European networks. We shall capitalise on the existing potential of international networking for excellence in Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience research, through knowledge transfer and exchange of best practice between BIPH and leading institutions from the UK, Austria, Portugal, Sweden and Germany. The specific objectives of the proposal target several key areas. They include implementing modern research approaches to scientific excellence and innovation capacity of BIPH via infrastructural changes, large scale knowledge transfer between partners, increasing competitiveness of the BIPH researchers in fundraising from international grant bodies. The quality of the scientific output of BIPH will be improved through continuous training of research staff in academic writing and boosting the quality of post-graduate education. NEUROTWIN will help to boost communication with the policy makers and relevant stakeholders in Ukraine to advocate the importance of neuroscience and neurology research for the improvement of public health and biomedical education. NEUROTWIN will step up and stimulate the scientific excellence and innovation capacity in the field of Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, as well as strengthening scientific collaboration and international standing of the partners involved.
