28.03.2023International impact of the z-proso project

On 13 March Manuel Eisner gave a seminar at the University of Cordoba on “How well do childhood risk factors predict health issues and antisocial behavior at ages 18-24”.

The invitation builds on a long-term collaboration between Manuel Eisner and Izabela Zych and Vicente Llorent (Professors at the Department of Education, University of Cordoba) relating to work based on the Zurich Project on Social Development from Childhood to Adulthood.

The seminar was chaired by the rector of the University, Prof José Carlos Gómez Villamandos, and attracted substantial media attention in local and national news outlets, see Cordopolis

Another sign of the successful collaboration between Cordoba and Zurich was the stay of Joaquin Rodriguez-Ruiz as a visiting scholar in 2021/22. A paper led by him and co-authored by the Zurich z-proso team has just come out in the International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, see:
