Training a new generation of talented and multidisciplinary researchers

HaPpY brings together leading experts on pain or/and mood disorders at the preclinical or clinical levels, on tool and pharmacological development and on communication and dissemination of scientific activities. They all have outstanding records of accomplishments, complementary backgrounds (biologist, pharmacist, medicine, physicist, psychologist) and expertise (neuroscience, molecular biology, neurophotonics, pharmacology, physiology,
behavioural neuroscience, genetics, clinical medicine), which ensure the multidisciplinary aspect of the training.

In Europe and Canada

HaPpY training is organised around three principles: International, Interdisciplinary and Intersectoral. 

International: Organisations from seven EU countries (Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Portugal and Spain) and Canada participate in the design and implementation of the HaPpY training scheme. The participation of two Canadian organisations in the network will bring the point of view of a non-EU country.

Interdisciplinary: HaPpY will establish a framework for interdisciplinary training by bringing together experts from neuroscience, physiology, psychology, genetics, pharmacology, chemistry, physics and clinical medicine and experts in project management.

Intersectoral: Eleven academic and seven non-academic organisations are fully engaged in the design and the implementation of the HaPpY training programme.

The work Packages

We aim to reach the overall objective of the HaPpY project which is to create an optimal environment for the training of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to break the vicious cycle linking chronic pain and mood disorders.
