The development of the European Master’s program in epilepsy

The primary goal of the projectl is to set up the foundations for a permanent undergraduate educational EU program focused on epilepsy; the format could be extended to many other brain diseases. The Master’s program fills the existing gaps in academic education to promote broad multidisciplinary knowledge in epilepsy research areas that include clinical, neurobiological, social, and legal aspects. The graduates should be versatile scientists able to catalyze the integration of science and technology; they will acquire the ability to work in academia and industry, to bridge between basic and clinical research to develop a global vision of the problem epilepsy. The Master's program should enhance personal development in translational science and promote project development creativity. As a first step towards to program we will elaborate an International course on the Pathogenesis of Epilepsy followed by its expansion to the micro-credential program on Epilepsy.
