MiND is a pan-European training network MiND (mastering skills in the training Network for attention deficit hyperactivity and autism spectrum Disorders) aims to educate a new generation of researchers in the field of neurodevelopmental disorders, through innovation-oriented research combined with highly
interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral international training. ADHD-Europe is a patient representative in this project and sits on the Ethics Committee. We contributed to training, dissemination and the production of an awareness raising video. 

Investigates the shared causal mechanisms of ADHD, depression, substance abuse and obesity. An intervention study with light therapy and exercise aims to improve quality of life

The CoCa Project (www.coca-project.eu)
CoCA studies comorbidity between the most
frequent psychiatric conditions, ADHD, mood /
anxiety and substance use disorders, and a
highly prevalent somatic disease, obesity.
Our President, Andrea Bilbow, sits on the
Scientific Ethical Advisory Board and the
Impact Board of this project and attends
regular face to face meetings around Europe.
The Scientific Ethical Advisory Board
SEAB is a consultative body, which is formed to ensure and improve the scientific
performance and the quality of results of CoCA. The members of the SEAB will be
invited to the annual GA meetings in order to monitor the progress of work, to
assess the scientific quality and to give feed-back to the Consortium members.
The SEAB will also consider and mention any ethical issues which might require
(stronger) attention in their feed-back. It has an independent advisory position
that includes possible reporting of critical issues to the EC, so that safeguarding
of the project is ensured. The patient voice is represented at each meeting of this
Board.
The Impact Board
The Impact Board is responsible for designing a structured communication plan
for dissemination and the exploitation of program results and will monitor the
steps being taken. Together with the Project Management Office it oversees the
comprehensive internal and external dissemination of project results and
knowledge. ADHD Europe received €7,000 for participating in this project in 2019.
