Strengthening International Research Ties: Caroline Fitzpatrick’s Scientific Visit to France and South Africa

From April 3 to 10, 2025, Caroline Fitzpatrick undertook a research trip to France and South Africa to strengthen and develop international collaborations.

In Paris, she met with Dr. Jonathan Bernard and INSERM team, and delivered a keynote presentation on the work of the Digital Child Lab. Then, at the University of Johannesburg, she collaborated with Dr. Mojtaba Soltanlou and postdoctoral fellow Parvin Nemati, took part in neuroscience training (FNIRS imaging), visited the Soweto campus and the Funda laboratory school, and met with Professor Elizabeth Henning.

These exchanges mark an important step in expanding the Lab’s scientific network, paving the way for new collaborations.
