Wikipedia
​All EuroNeurotrophin ESRs were involved in the updating of Wikipedia pages related to the project and research fields associated to Neurotrophins to ensure outcomes from the project are documented on Wikipedia and accessible to a large audience interested in the field of Neurotrophins. In groups, the ESRs identified and reviewed relevant pages which require updates and added new content to include information and outcomes resulting from the EuroNeurotrohin project. Additionally, one group of ESRs focused on the development of a new Wikipedia page dedicated to Neurotrophin mimetics as this was not available.  Below you can find the list of articles updated by our ESRs.
