EMBL has signed a partnership agreement with BRAINCITY, a new Centre of Excellence for Neural Plasticity and Brain Disorders, in Poland. EMBL partnerships<\/a> are close cooperative affiliations with national institutes in EMBL member states<\/a>. This is EMBL\u2019s twelfth partnership and furthers EMBL\u2019s aim to create a network of international centres of scientific excellence and advanced training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRAINCITY, established as an independent unit at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology<\/a> in Warsaw, will build on the Nencki Institute\u2019s strong track record in neurobiological research, as well as on EMBL\u2019s internationally recognised expertise in life science research and training, including specific expertise in neurobiology and epigenetics. Research at BRAINCITY will focus on the understanding and use of complex neuroplasticity for combating diseases, while closely collaborating with scientific, clinical and industry partners. BRAINCITY has been awarded funding of \u20ac9 million for a five-year period by the Foundation for Polish Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This latest partnership follows swiftly on Poland\u2019s accession<\/a> in February as EMBL\u2019s 26th member state. \u201cBRAINCITY is a key addition to the partnership network for EMBL, as we look towards Poland for exchange of scientific excellence and collaboration in groundbreaking research,\u201d says Silke Schumacher, EMBL Director of International Relations, who leads the EMBL Partnership Programme. \u201cWe are also very excited to be able to implement the partnership immediately after Polish accession to EMBL, which is a result of excellent collaboration with the Nencki Institute.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
