International Conference on Advanced Sleep Modulation Technologies - Switzerland - 27-30 october 201
Monte Verita - Ascona - Switzerland
Despite the consensus that sleep is a crucial factor for wellbeing and healthy development, it remains unclear which sleep-related biological mechanisms underlie its positive effects on health and performance, and how these interactions can improve health and productivity.This conference will address this question by assembling internationally renowned scientists and representatives from industry from a wide range of disciplines (i.e. neurosciences, engineering, computer science, epidemiology, ethics, and economics). Through an intensive transdisciplinary exchange on the topics of sleep and technology, we will ultimately shape novel concepts for application-oriented and translational research to have a beneficial impact on sleep and society.
Objectives
Bring together internationally renowned scientists and representatives from industry from a wide range of disciplines to discuss the interrelation of sleep, translational research and health
Shape novel concepts for application-oriented research by linking scientific disciplines with a specific societal need and boost research collaborations for innovative, synergetic solutions
Provide the opportunity for junior and advanced researchers to disseminate their work and interact with senior researchers
Provide an update on the state of the art, highlight recent discoveries and identify future research needs
Create a consensus manuscript describing current needs, future directions/applications as well as pointing out shortcomings
