Children and Young People's Edinburgh Research Network (CYPER)

Purpose

CYPER is an interdisciplinary group with the primary aim of providing a platform linking colleagues interested in children and young people’s research and to create a collaborative network that is ready to respond to major interdisciplinary grant calls relating to children and young people

We hope to build a network to enable interdisciplinary work and understanding. We welcome members from any discipline with an interest in child and adolescent-related research.

We aim to hold events to showcase the work researchers are doing relating to children and young people, and to provide networking opportunities for like-minded individuals with varied events, such as poster sessions, symposiums, and conferences.
