Early Childhood Research

Description

Dynamics of Youth is a multidisciplinary platform that spans all departments of the university. Dynamics of Youth facilitates all researchers in the field of child development. The Early Childhood community specifically focuses on development from conception to six years of age.

After our successful Dynamics of Youth Summer school in 2024, we are very happy to announce that we will organize a new summer school in 2025.

Get updated on research in the field of early development. We will discuss the state-of-the-art knowledge in different key disciplines studying early development (from conception to six years of age), including:

• Brain development, including neuroanatomy, language development and cognitive development;
• Global health, equality, diversity and inclusion in early childhood education;
• Interdisciplinary perspectives on subjects like feeding, pain and play.

After an update of your theoretical knowledge in the morning, we will use the afternoons for excursions to our research labs and workshops on writing grant proposals. During these workshops we give you the opportunity to write your own grant proposal and present them to our interdisciplinary team of researchers.
