Results

In EuroNeurotrophin, we will disseminate our results mainly via scientific publications and conference presentations. However, we will publish articles in magazines and newspapers, and document our progress in reports to the European Commission.

We will update our list of contributions to publications, presentations and received media coverage on a regular basis over the course of the project.
