The aim is to find ways of protecting babies&#8217; brains from birth.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Vill\u00e9ga set up the <em><strong>&#8220;T\u00e9o-Aquitaine&#8221;<\/strong> <\/em>association. Its aim is to promote international solidarity by organising exchanges between universities around the world, particularly in countries in need of aid, through collaborative projects. Its main theme is neuroscience: brain surgery, neurodevelopment and child\/adult neuropsychiatry. With political and financial support from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, Bordeaux M\u00e9tropole and Bordeaux University Hospital, the association has already carried out thirteen missions in Cameroon, one in Rwanda and one in Togo. In addition, various projects with the Congo and training courses for Senegal and Benin have also been organised.<\/p>\n<p>Ten years ago, an accord was signed between the University of Bordeaux and the University of Lom\u00e9 Yaound\u00e9 in Cameroon to promote education and student mobility.<br \/>\nIn 2020, several Cameroonian university delegations visited Bordeaux Neurocampus. This enabled young doctors and nurses in neuropaediatrics and neurosurgery to spend several months in Bordeaux.<\/p>\n<p>The future project is also to host students in the second year of their Master of Science course.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teo Aquitaine website:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/teoaquitaine.jimdofree.com\/\">https:\/\/teoaquitaine.jimdofree.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The association finances its activities in part through jazz concerts with the Forever Quartet jazz group:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Kgrb4ohUo4A\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Kgrb4ohUo4A<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>and the classical group Molto Assai:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.moltoassai.fr\/\">https:\/\/www.moltoassai.fr\/<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>IINS, Nolwenn Cloarec<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the frame of a research\/care\/training collaboration, to find ways of protecting babies&#8217; brains from birth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":357,"featured_media":180039,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[764],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-180040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international-collaborations"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/357"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180040"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180040\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":180195,"href":"https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180040\/revisions\/180195"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
