Mission statement and aims of IMpACT

  • The overarching goal of IMpACT & ECNP Network ‘ADHD across the Lifespan’ is to bring together excellent clinical and basic researchers across disciplines from Europe and beyond, to improve the understanding of the etiology of ADHD across the lifespan – i.e., from childhood through adolescence to adulthood and, finally, old age – in order to enable progress in strategies of ADHD diagnosis, prognosis, as well as reduction and prevention of impairment. Importantly, this will also result in a reduction of the burden caused by the condition to individuals in all stages of the lifespan, to their families, and to society. This goal should be achieved through the following specific aims:     
  • Providing a platform facilitating collaboration between researchers to perform multi-level, interdisciplinary research into ADHD etiology, persistence, and remission, and using a lifespan perspective.
  • Optimization of the collaboration between researchers, people with ADHD, and other stakeholders, such as mental health professionals working with children and adolescents, adults, and the elderly.
