German university gets important neuroscience boost

Cutting-edge equipment combined with advanced faculty training has enabled one German university to become a global player in the evolving field of neuroscience.

Neuroscience, the scientific study of the nervous system, is considered an interdisciplinary science that interfaces with other fields such as mathematics, medicine, linguistics, computer science, physics and psychology. The Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald, one of Europe's noblest and oldest universities in Germany's north-eastern region, aimed to enhance its research capabilities in neuroscience.

In this context, the EU-funded project ImpactG sought to help the institution reinforce its neuroscience research potential. The project supported the University in acquiring state-of-the-art equipment and technology to boost its neuroscience facilities, in addition to increasing the faculty's global influence and collaboration opportunities.
