The NeuroDevelopment Project aims to establish University-Based Centers specializing in Neuropsychology and Developmental Disorders at Bethlehem University, Hebron University, and An-Najah National University. The initiative is a collaborative effort between these three Palestinian Universities and two European counterparts: the University of Granada (Spain) and the University of Clermont-Ferrand (France).
As part of this participation, the delegation visited several institutions in Spain working in the field of developmental disorders, gaining insights from their expertise and best practices. They also visited the Mind, Brain and Behaviour Research Centre at the University of Granada—one of Spain’s leading research institutions in Psychology.
Bethlehem University is honored to contribute to this impactful initiative, furthering academic excellence and research in neurodevelopment and developmental sciences.
