The EMN-Online master’s degree was created as part of a TEMPUS IV project under the name of ISIS (ISIS project, 2010-2014) funded by the European Commission and coordinated by Bordeaux University.
The consortium has since expanded beyond the Euro-Mediterranean area/region, incorporating partners from other European and non-European countries (Poland, Sweden, Canada, USA and Australia), which has helped put the consortium in a position to offer research projects of excellence for training EMN-Online students. This development has been supported by European research funding (NEUREN project, IRSES program, FP7, Marie Curie Actions, 2013 – 2017).
In 2015, the Consortium was awarded another European grant (NeuronLine project, Erasmus + Strategic partnership program, 2015-2018) to further develop the Master and to switch to an entirely online program providing lifelong learning solutions for professionals and initial training for distance-learning students. This central objective is also supported by a grant from the Bordeaux cluster of excellence (IdEx, “programme Innovation Maquettes”).
EMN-Online is supported by the Mediterranean Neuroscience Society (MNS), which is affiliated to the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO)
