Towards transdisciplinarity in the investigation of neurological disorders

Mánudaginn 27. maí fer fram ráðstefnan Í átt að þverfaglegum rannsóknum á sviði taugavísinda og tækni í Háskólanum í Reykjavík.

Ráðstefnan er haldin í tengslum við NeurotechEU háskólanetið sem HR er hluti af ásamt sjö öðrum evrópskum háskólum. Háskólarnir standa allir framarlega í rannsóknum á þessu sviði. Taugasjúkdómar eru taldir vera ein af helstu áskorunum samtímans og er mikil þörf á frekari rannsóknum á þeim til þess að auka skilning og bæta meðferðir. Slíkar rannsóknir þurfa að vera þverfaglegar og unnar í samstarfi háskóla, samfélags og atvinnulífs.

Á ráðstefnunni í HR verður veitt innsýn í þá viðleitni samstarfsháskóla NeurotechEU að stunda fjölbreyttar, þverfaglegar og samfélagsmiðaðar  rannsóknir til að stuðla að bættri stöðu þeirra sem glíma við taugasjúkdóma í samfélaginu.

Towards transdisciplinarity in the investigation of neurological disorders

A significant future challenge for Europe lies in the escalating prevalence of neurological disorders across the lifespan. Despite their widespread impact, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying neurological disorders is still lacking. Thus, effective treatments remain elusive, imposing profound and adverse consequences on patients, their families, and society at large. Indeed, available treatments to alleviate symptoms or, in the case of neurodegenerative diseases, to slow disease progression are scarce, with advancements in early diagnosis and treatment notably trailing behind those for other prominent ailments such as cancer.

Consequently, an immediate imperative exists for transdisciplinary approaches, where research progress can be accelerated at the interface of neuroscience and technology with close cooperation with industry and society at large. Such an approach will broaden the spectrum of treatment possibilities for these debilitating disorders and enhance the likelihood of innovative solutions.

The objective of this symposium is to offer a glimpse into the diverse research endeavors undertaken by NeurotechEU participants, driven by both interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary ambitions.
