The CfNN aims to strengthen the collaboration between basic research, clinical research, innovative biotechnologies in the field of Neurosciences thus representing an ideal environment for the exchange of top level expertise and scientific interests complementary to each other. In addition, the CfNN constitutes a highly qualified environment for students of the 3 levels of education. Finally, the CfNN has the primary objective to establish a dialogue between research and innovation produced in Modena and Reggio Emilia and citizenship, by promoting cultural and scientific dissemination events in the field of Neurosciences and joint activities with the Association of neurological and psychiatric patients.
