History
The ECNP Network ADHD across the lifespan has its roots in the International persistent ADHD Collaboration (IMpACT), an international collaboration of researchers at eight sites across Europe and the Americas interested in ADHD biology and the factors that cause persistence of the disorder into adulthood. The members of IMpACT have been working together since 2007. Additional groups interested in ADHD across the lifespan have been added to this core group over time to form the current ECNP Network.
Our group is the outcome of a long-lasting, European research consortium that managed to publish in high-ranking journals for several years. The friendship and collaboration that came along with this network is both a professional as well as personal highlight of our career. Our effort was rewarded with four successful EU-funded projects: Aggressotype, MiND, CoCA and Eat2BeNICE. With this enormous boost in funding, we managed to put ADHD across the lifespan on the research agenda, generated public awareness, trained a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers and, first and foremost, published numerous articles in top journals.
