The aims of the NEUROTRAIN project are to provide a standard platform for neuroscience training in Europe by offering a series of 4 events from 2006 - 2008 to implement a training system standardised coherently in relation to structure, programme frame, patients perspectives, industrial aspects, complementary skills, event management, selection of high-quality scientists, topics and tutors, and evaluation after events to enable continuous improvement.

NEUROTRAIN is supported by the European Commission, Research Directorate General, Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses, Contract No. MSCF-CT-2005-029703.
