We are behind the setup of regional, national and international research programs in neurosciences. In 2010, we initiated a precompetitive project on « The use of EEG as a CNS Biomarker » together with some of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world. We also contribute to international projects funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Program (FP7) (see Box).
We are regularly approached by the CNRS, INSERM, the Karolinska Institute (Sweden), the Aristote University (Greece). We also have close collaborations with the R&D departments of automobile, microelectronics, food and cosmetic industries.
In association with the Institut Fédératif de
Recherche en Neurosciences of Strasbourg, we work in close collaboration
with the constitutive laboratories that are devoted to the research on
nervous system functioning. We initiate scientific collaborations in all
fields ranging from the molecule to psychiatry, and participate in the
implementation of technological platforms to progress in the field of
neurosciences.
We are involved in Neurex center of excellence which gathers the three
big universities of the Upper Rhine region (Strasbourg, Basel, and
Freiburg) around scientific and industrial exchanges. With their
respective scientific competences, the three universities cover all
areas of the research in neurosciences (molecular analysis, neuronal
network, neuroimaging, etc).
Training today the experts of tomorrow: the transfer
of competences is the first step to scientific excellence. We train
young researchers in Master Neurosciences (Doctoral School « Health and
Life sciences» from Strasbourg University, and Joint Master in
Strasbourg, Basel and Freiburg Universities).
