Subsidie voor aandoeningoverstijgend onderzoeksproject Hersenstichting

De Hersenstichting stelt 1 miljoen euro beschikbaar voor een onderzoek dat zich richt op oplossingen voor meerdere hersenaandoeningen. Kruisbestuiving en samenwerking moeten centraal staan in het onderzoeksproject om zo samen tot impactvolle resultaten voor mensen met hersenaandoeningen te komen.

De Hersenstichting stelt €1 miljoen beschikbaar voor een aansprekend onderzoeksproject:

dat aandoeningoverstijgend is en zich richt op tenminste twee verschillende hersenaandoeningen
waarin nieuwe samenwerkingsverbanden worden gevormd en door alle voor het eindresultaat relevante partijen, waaronder ervaringsdeskundigen en eindgebruikers, samengewerkt wordt
waarover de Hersenstichting tussentijds kan communiceren.

Voor deze oproep dienen onderzoekers eerst een initiatief aan te melden en vervolgens een projectidee. De initiatieven dienen verplicht vóór maandag 2 september 2019 12.00 uur bij de Hersenstichting aangemeld te zijn.

Projectideeën dienen vóór maandag 14 oktober 2019 12.00 uur door de Hersenstichting te zijn ontvangen.

Dutch Brain Olympiad

Eighteen-year-old Myrthe Weessies from Nijmegen has won the first edition of the Dutch Brain Olympiad held at the Donders Institute in Nijmegen. Thirteen young finalists started the day with a multiple choice round, followed by a workshop (by Brein in Beeld). The workshop was concluded by a number of anatomy and histology questions and followed by a patient diagnosis round. After a thrilling Final Podium Round, where the top five participants were asked tough questions by a panel of expert neuroscience judges, Myrthe was the winner. The judges were very impressed by the knowledge the participants displayed about our most complex organ: the human brain.

Contestants came from different secondary schools in the Nijmegen area and beyond. Myrthe Weessies, along with Anna Veerhoek (second place) and Tim van Dijk (third place) are invited to visit the Dutch National Neuroscience Conference “Dutch Neuroscience” in June. In addition, Dutch Brain Champion Myrthe Weessies has won a ticket to the International Brain Bee finals in South Korea. The Dutch Brain Olympiad Foundation has started a crowdfunding initiative to raise money to send Myrthe to South Korea. Please consider contributing here: http://www.hersenolympiade.nl/korea

Besides participating in the competition, the young brain enthusiasts explored the Brain Expo, a neuroscience fair where early career researchers presented their experiments to the participants and visitors: VR experiences, brain models, memory tests and a Brain Game sparked interest.

The Dutch Brain Olympiad has joined the International Brain Bee Competition (IBB) in 2018 as the representative for the Netherlands. The IBB was founded in 1998 by Dr. Norbert Myslinski in the USA. By now, national preliminary rounds take place in more than 50 countries, with the participation of over 25,000 young people each year. Its international partners and supporters are the American Psychological Association (APA), the Dana Foundation, the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS), the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) and the Society for Neuroscience (SfN).

The Dutch Brain Olympiad was organized in collaboration with: Deutsche Neurowissenschaftliche Olympiad (DNO-E.V.), Stichting Brein in Beeld & Marvelous Mind. Support for the 2019 Dutch Brain Olympiad came from: the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior, the Dutch NeuroFederation/Dutch Neuroscience Meeting, Noldus Information Technology, the Human Brain Project, the University of Amsterdam and the Hersenstichting.
