Funding is very important for the success of the Psy-NAPS group.
On this page, there are three sections. The first section indicates the funding that facilitates current Psy-NAPS group activities. The second section provides a summary of the funding that is now complete and obtained while at the Université catholique de Louvain. The final section provides a summary of the funding that is now complete and obtained while at the University of Birmingham. The next page in this website presents a summary of the research laboratory equipment purchased with the funding.
