Neuropsychiatry is an exciting and rapidly growing field that promotes an improved understanding of the brain/mind relationship. It seeks to elucidate the brain circuitry involved in primary psychiatric disorders such as mood, anxiety, psychotic, and somatic symptom disorders, and in neurological disorders that present with cognitive, emotional, or behavioral problems. The ultimate goal of neuropsychiatry is to advance diagnostic and treatment options for patients suffering from these disorders. This course is designed to enhance participants’ knowledge of brain-behavior relationships and their skills for the diagnostic work-up and treatment of patients with neuropsychiatric disorders. Faculty will review cutting-edge, clinical research, evidence-based interventions and practical guidelines for the clinician. The course content will include the functional neuroanatomy of emotions, cognition, and behavior; the fundamentals of the neuropsychiatric exam and relevant ancillary tests; and neuropsychopharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions in neuropsychiatric disorders. We will discuss the neuropsychiatric aspects of traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, neurodegenerative disorders, stroke, multiple sclerosis, functional neurological disorders, Tourette Syndrome, addiction, and other disorders.

World Leadership Alliance-Club de Madrid’s (WLA-CdM) co-organises its flagship Policy Dialogue ‘Multilateralism that Delivers’ in collaboration with Bertelsmann Stiftung, in a virtual format and over a four-day period: a single session on 20 October, and three-day session between 28 and 30 October.
Our 2020 Policy Dialogue ‘Multilateralism that Delivers’ provides a global platform that brings together a large number of WLA-CdM’s more than 100 democratic former Presidents and Prime Ministers, from over seventy countries, sitting policymakers, representatives of international organisations, civil society and academia to identify and promote a much-needed renewal of our multilateral system, one that breathes new life and reflects new realities. Building on our continued work on multilateralism, the specific measures and policies identified will feed into the UN75 stock taking process and will be shared with the German EU Presidency and other major action-oriented discussions taking place on this most pressing topic such as the UN2020 campaign.
The Policy Dialogue’s Breakout Action Labs will delve deeper into three challenges that require a multilateral and cooperative approach:
- Transforming Multilateralism for 21st Century Social Justice and Inclusion
- Digital Cooperation and a better global future
- Leveraging multilateralism to build back better towards a more sustainable future
Professor Alex Sandy Pentland (MIT), Co-founder and Mentor of AIWS.net, representative of the Boston Global Forum will lead the Action Lab “Digital Cooperation and a better global future”
The Paper “Working With AIWS City to Create A New Gem For The World” by Mr. Bui Thanh Nhon, Chairman of the Novaland Group, was posted on website of the event at https://multilateralism2020.dialoguescdm.org/background/
