Seminar Objectives 

This interdisciplinary and international seminar aimed to provide uninterrupted time for collaborative work on ongoing projects and writing. Participants developed a booklet to guide new researchers in interdisciplinary environments and had dedicated time to focus on their academic papers. By bringing together experts from epidemiology, pharmacy, neurology, and informatics, the seminar facilitated the creation and refinement of key materials, including practical exercises and data insights. These efforts represent significant milestones for the iAPOGEE and UiO:RealArt projects.

Activities and Projects 

Attendees engaged in individual writing sessions and group discussions, enhancing their professional connections. They worked on various projects, including papers on mental and neurodevelopmental disorders, genetically informed research designs, polygenic scores, and the impact of medications on pregnancy outcomes. The seminar also included updates on the RealArt and iAPOGEE websites and social media, as well as discussions on data simulation tools and language outcome measures. 

Conclusion and Plenary Session 

The seminar concluded with a plenary session summarizing the progress made. Pictures of participants during dinners and social activities highlighted the collaborative spirit of the event. 

Stay tuned for updates and highlights from iAPOGEE!
