Objective Studying the cognitive aspects of socio-economic behaviour and the neural mechanisms of cognition and applying the results to solve practical problems will contribute to the improvement of the quality of life and the economic development of the society. High quality research in this area requires the integration of resources across Europe. The main objectives of the project are to develop a European cognitive science research network including both leading European Centres and Central and East European groups; to extend the Centre's capacities (the scope of its activities, the number and the quality of its research staff, to add new research facilities); and to create sustainable links with the Bulgarian socio-economic environment. The proposed measures include exchange of research visits, training of PhD students and post-doc researchers, summer schools, workshops and conferences, establishing of working relations between the laboratories at the Centre and clinics, schools, industry.
