PainAdelaide is an interdisciplinary cross-institution collaborative initiative to develop a synergistic and highly-visible pain research community in Adelaide. What does this mean? Well, Adelaide’s three Universities – UniSA, Adelaide & Flinders – all have world class pain researchers doing world class work.
The objectives of PainAdelaide are to improve the quality and impact of pain research and clinical practice in South Australia, and by so-doing, across Australia and abroad. We will do this by:
* bringing high quality researchers together, to act as ‘cortical prostheses’ for each other, to exploit the unique contributions and intellectual diversity of Adelaide’s Universities, and to facilitate collaboration on interdisciplinary projects;
* developing a visible pain-focussed presence in Adelaide;
* directly engaging with, and developing ongoing constructive relationships with, Adelaide’s high quality pain clinicians;
* fostering a collaborative spirit of intellectual curiosity between researchers, clinicians, stake holders and consumers;
* confirming and extending Adelaide’s long-standing reputation as a Centre of Excellence in pain research and treatment.
PainAdelaide 2013 is our first meeting.
