Center for Applied Neuroscience, University of Cyprus

Center for Applied Neuroscience, University of Cyprus CAN serves as a catalyst for the development of new knowledge in applied and basic science thought

The Centre for Applied Neuroscience (CAN) was established in 2011 as part of the large infrastructure grants of the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation (through European and National funding) and via co-funding from the University of Cyprus. The aim of the Centre for Applied Neuroscience is to study human normal and abnormal behavior and mental processes with procedures, methods and theoretical a

pproaches that are informed by contemporary neuroscience and biological perspectives of behavior. It bridges the gap between basic research and clinical applications through innovative and cutting-edge programs by drawing on the resources of experts in the areas of psychology, neuropsychology, education, cognition, mathematics, and engineering. It is the only center of its kind in Cyprus investigating high incidence neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders through the application of integrative and contemporary methodologies. The founding of the Centre for Applied Neuroscience will bring at the forefront the importance of research, development, and delivery of evidence-based clinical services in Cyprus.

Brain Health Seminar Day 27 August 2026

Yesterday, the Center for Applied Neuroscience (CAN) hosted a Brain Health Seminar Day featuring a special presentation by Prof. Kyriakos S. Markides, Ph.D., Annie and John Gritzinger Distinguished Professor of Aging at the University of Texas Medical Branch.

Prof. Markides presented “Reflections on Gerontology, Minorities, and Immigrants from the 1960s to the 2020s,” sharing reflections from his extensive academic and research career and discussing key developments in the field of gerontology.

The seminar was followed by a series of short research presentations by PhD researchers from the Neurocognitive Research Laboratory, who introduced their research interests and ongoing work.

We would like to thank Prof. Markides for his insightful presentation and all our PhD researchers for sharing their work with the audience.

Με αφορμή την ολοκλήρωση των δράσεων του ευρωπαϊκού ερευνητικού προγράμματος BRAINN, πραγματοποιήθηκε το επιμορφωτικό εργαστήριο «Γνωστική Αποκατάσταση σε Εφήβους και Ενήλικες: Από τη Θεωρία στην Κλινική Πράξη».

Το εργαστήριο εστίασε σε βασικές αρχές της γνωστικής αποκατάστασης, δομημένες παρεμβάσεις, κλινικές εφαρμογές και τρόπους αξιοποίησης ψηφιακών εργαλείων στην πράξη.

Ευχαριστούμε θερμά τους/τις επαγγελματίες που συμμετείχαν και συνέβαλαν με ερωτήσεις, σκέψεις και πολύτιμη συζήτηση.

Με χαρά μοιραζόμαστε στιγμές από τη δημόσια εκδήλωση «Πέρα από τα Δεδομένα: Το Ανθρώπινο Πρόσωπο του Long COVID», η οποία πραγματοποιήθηκε στο πλαίσιο του ευρωπαϊκού ερευνητικού προγράμματος BRAINN.

Μέσα από τις παρουσιάσεις και τη συζήτηση που ακολούθησε, είχαμε την ευκαιρία να μοιραστούμε τα κύρια ευρήματα του προγράμματος και να συζητήσουμε την ανθρώπινη διάσταση του Long COVID.

Ιδιαίτερα σημαντική ήταν η συμμετοχή ατόμων με Long COVID, τα οποία ολοκλήρωσαν την παρέμβαση του προγράμματος και μοιράστηκαν σκέψεις και εμπειρίες από τη δική τους πορεία.

Θερμές ευχαριστίες σε όλους όσοι ήταν μαζί μας! ✨🤍
