About the grant

Background

Neurotorium is an educational platform providing free and unbiased material for clinicians, educators, researchers, and all who are interested in learning about the brain. All our educational material is developed, reviewed, and regularly updated by leading experts. 
Neurotorium also organises scientific meetings and events to facilitate dialogue within and between the fields of neurology and psychiatry, and awards educational grants, enabling others around the world to develop and deliver high-quality clinical education about the brain. 
Neurotorium is funded by the Lundbeck Foundation.

We encourage applications from a diverse pool of applicants and especially encourage projects from, or that target, low-income countries.
