IRDNA Institute for Research and Development in Applied Neuroscience

IRDNA, French acronym for Research and Development Institute of Applied Neurosciences, is an independent non-profit think-tank organisation launched in january 2016 IRDNA ‘s mission is to find supplementary or alternative ways of training and educating children not suited to the standard educational system, a special focus on research and validation solutions for learning disabilities. Those children, typically suffering from attention disorders, dysorthography, dyscalculia, hyperactivity, dyslexia, autism as well as those over gifted, too often struggle and suffer along a path designed for the majority. The IRDNA scientists and researchers’ goal is to awaken the exceptionality in each one through the use of innovative technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, big data and gamification, Machine Learning and Artificial intelligence; to develop the potentials that every child, every human being has got inside. Networks have already been initiated in France, Belgium, Romania, and soon in Brazil, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Spain. IRDNA is now looking to expand its network worldwide; not only to address local educational needs, but also to contract the best experts in pedagogy and neuroscience to accelerate the finding of innovative solutions in virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, Machine Learning, robotics, internet of things, wearables. What is required: outstanding challenges, motivated individuals or regional non-profit organisations dedicated to education, regional neuroscientists and experts in pedagogy, regional, national or international subventions, any form of local support to cover working capital requirements and the acquisition or renting of fixed assets such as hardware, software and offices. for contributing to research or the development of IRDNA, please contact info@irdna.org tags :#edtech, #neurosciences, #AR,#VR, immersive, #special needs, #creativity #AI #IOT #machinelearning
