Research

Open science at the service of people

Research with methodological rigour, to answer the everyday questions of our region.

Our lines of research

Three questions that guide the work

01

Neurodiversity across the life course and ageing trajectories in autistic and ADHD people.

02

The prevalence of needs and the barriers to accessing brain health in Patagonian communities.

03

The effectiveness of community programmes supporting carers and family members in local settings.

Ethics and open access

Transparent, shared knowledge

All of our scientific output is deposited in public repositories with persistent identifiers. Research is meaningful when it returns to the community that gave rise to it and helps to shape better policies and practices of care.

Academic networks

Collaborating and building knowledge

If you are part of a university, research centre or scientific institution and would like to coordinate joint projects with Valle Vivo, our working frameworks are available to you.

Conference presentations and outreach

Sharing knowledge in leading spaces

We are taking the experience and methodological framework of Valle Vivo to interdisciplinary meetings and congresses, encouraging dialogue between neurodiversity, community health and ageing.
