In June 2016, Aurelie Baranger, AE director, met with a group of young researchers taking part in the Minds project, in Frankfurt (Germany). She gave a talk on the latest developments in the field of autism policy at the EU-level, as well as on the importance of involving autistic people in setting research priorities. During the training, she also shared current priorities as identified by self-advocates and the autism community according to recent available surveys and research.
