Special interest groups

EUNETHYDIS also facilitates Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that comprise a group of EUNETHYDIS members, ECRs and potentially other stakeholders who are interested in a particular area of current ADHD research. The SIGs offer an opportunity for increased interactions and scientific development in a particular area.

SIGs can be initiated and applied for by any full EUNETHYDIS member, following a call for SIGs early in the calendar year prior to the annual meeting the following autumn. SIG meetings are held during the annual network meeting. EUNETHYDIS encourages SIGs to aim for outcomes such as EUNETHYDIS publications (perspectives, position papers, letters, overviews or empirical research). Longer-term outputs may consist, for example, of symposia at network meetings or collaborative grant applications.

We currently have three SIGs:

Language use and ADHD

This SIG investigates language use with regard to ADHD. They published a paper with a short overview on this topic in Lancet Psychiatry: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(25)00167-1/abstract

SIG leads: Blandine French & Joanna Martin

ADHD in women

This SIG is about female-specific aspects in ADHD. They publised a first outline of their work in Frontiers in Global Women’s Health: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/global-womens-health/articles/10.3389/fgwh.2025.1613628/full

SIG lead: Sandra Kooij

ADHD and digital technology

This SIG focused on digital technology. They are currently working on a consensus statement, which will appear here soon.

SIG leads: Anna Price, Emi Furukawa
