Postgraduate Program in Brain and Mind Sciences

The Postgraduate Programme in Brain and Mind Sciences (B&M) is an inter-institutional, interdisciplinary program organized and operated by the University of Crete (UoC) in collaboration with the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH). The B&M Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Programme brings together the UoC Medical School and the Departments of Computer Science, Philosophy and Social Studies, Physics, and Psychology, along with the FORTH Institutes of Computer Science, Applied & Computational Mathematics, and Molecular Biology & Biotechnology.

The B&M was the first postgraduate program in Europe to provide integrated education in Biological, Computational, and Social Neurosciences for the study of the nervous system and its functions, serving as a model subsequently followed by other European neuroscience postgraduate programs.
