Description

Two scientific workshops on topic of Neurorehabilitation will be organized in the project (the first one will be guaranteed by Third Medical faculty, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic; the second one will be guaranteed by University of Oslo, Norway). The workshops will have following aims: 1. To improve education of experts. 2. To establish new research contacts between scientists from both countries in order to prepare future scientific research collaboration. 3. To bring together various specialists of multi-disciplinary approach for an open academic discussion on new therapeutic possibilities in the comprehensive treatment of neurological diseases. 4. To support involvement of young researchers and PhD. students. 5. To prepare study materials for participants of the workshop and for professional public. The Project Partner is expected to bear an equal amount of involvement as the Project Promoter.

Summary of project results

Two scientific workshops on topic of Neurorehabilitation were realised in the project (the first one was guaranteed by Third Medical faculty, Charles University, Czech Republic; the second one was guaranteed by University of Oslo, Norway). Aims of the workshops were reached: 1. To improve education of experts. 2. To establish new research contacts between scientists from both countries in order to prepare future scientific research collaboration. 3. To bring together various specialists of multi-disciplinary approach for an open academic discussion on new therapeutic possibilities in the comprehensive treatment of neurological diseases. 4. To support involvement of young researchers and PhD. students. 5. To prepare study materials for participants of the workshop and for professional public. Publicity – promotional events where EEA/NRW Grants scholarship program was presented were organised. Abstracts were published in professional journal with impact factor (Czech and Slovak Neurology and Neurosurgery). Results from scientific part were published in journal with impact factor (BMC Health Services Research). Several articles informing about multiple sclerosis and workshop were published on websites, and public journals (Vita nostra servis, 5plus2, Interview, Medical tribune). Institutional cooperation at all levels of the education (Baclaleor, Master, Ph.D.) sector has been increased and strengthened. Further joint projects is planned.

Summary of bilateral results

Two scientific workshops on topic of Neurorehabilitation were realised in the project (the first one was guaranteed by Third Medical faculty, Charles University, Czech Republic; the second one was guaranteed by University of Oslo, Norway). Students and experts were educated, new research contacts between scientists from both countries in order to prepare future scientific research collaboration were established, various specialists of multi-disciplinary approach for an open academic discussion on new therapeutic possibilities in the comprehensive treatment of neurological diseases were put together, young researchers and PhD. Students particiapted, and study materials for participants of the workshop and for professional public were prepared. Institutional cooperation at all levels of the education (Baclaleor, Master, Ph.D.) sector has been increased and strengthened. Further joint projects is planned. Pilot proposal project for multi-center comparative study was prepared. The partnership allowed us to get an overview of the organizations providing rehabilitative care and used therapies in Czech Republic and Norway. This care varies depending on the system of health care, health policy, education, philosophy and culture condition of a given country. Our disscussion, work on articles and proposal project of planned multi-centre comparative study, is the highest asset of our partnership. We hope that our work will contribute to the progress in the field of neurorehabilitation. It was as well very nice to visit different clinical and academic workplaces, to meet very interesting proffessional in neuorehabiltaton, researchers and academists. It open our mind for future co-operation at educational, clinical and research work.
