Resumen del proyecto:

European Research, particularly in the Neurosciences, depends heavily on the creative contributions of young investigators. In recognition of this important need, twelve major European Neuroscience Institutes have formed a network, dedicated to the promoti on of the independent work of young investigators. The institutes supply laboratory space, infrastructure, a nurturing environment, and other support, which enables young investigators to build small research teams and to perform independent work. Here, th e network applies for networking funds, such that the young investigator groups can organize regular meetings, exchange students, and share expertise. From the interactions among groups we expect a major impact on the research of the individual teams, a st ronger integration of research between participating institutions, mobilization of major resources for neuroscience, and a significant structuring effect on the research field in the future European Research Area.
