Strengthening International Collaboration with Roman Schools within the NeuroLEEF Project

A particularly important contribution to the establishment and implementation of this collaboration was made by Maria Chiara Di Muro and Mariaimmacolata Colarusso, who participated in the organisation of the research activities and in the recruitment of participants. During the presentation, Dr Renata Martinčić Marić outlined the main scientific objectives, theoretical foundations and methodological framework of the NeuroLEEF project. Special attention was devoted to the study of the relationship between early language development, language exposure, bilingualism, working memory and executive functions in children. The presentation also included an overview of the standardized linguistic, cognitive and neuropsychological instruments used within the project. The particular value of this online meeting lies in the fact that it represents a form of international scientific and educational communication that enables the sustained maintenance of professional links with partner institutions. The presentation of the project was therefore not merely informative in nature, but also contributed to the further strengthening of collaborative relations, the exchange of professional experience and the inclusion of school staff within the broader scientific and methodological framework of the project. The collaboration with the Roman schools further confirms the international, interdisciplinary and applied dimension of the NeuroLEEF project, contributing to the development of a stable network of educational and scientific partners within the European research area.
