Working Groups
The International Brain Initiative established working groups to help deliver the aspirational goals. These groups include all member countries of the International Brain Initiative to ensure that nothing is being left behind in our progress to catalyze and advance neuroscience research globally.
There are currently three established working groups: Inventory of Brain Projects, Global Neuroethics, and Data Standards and Sharing. There are two additional working groups in the scoping phase: Tools and Technology Dissemination and Training and Education. Finally, Communications and Outreach group strategizes, plans, and executes networking events and materials for distribution, to maintain the connection between the IBI and the larger neuroscience community.
To examine and catalogue the world’s major brain initiatives systematically, by tracking funding sources, amounts, timelines, overall mission, specific deliverables, and points of collaboration. Learn more here.
To serve as an idea-incubator for scholarship, research and curriculum as well as for community building for neuroethics in the International Brain Initiative. Learn more here.
To share and disseminate tools and technology to globally accelerate discovery.
To implement mechanisms for data harmonization between existing global research efforts, international neuroscience-relevant societies, and neuroscience researchers.
To empower future generations of neuroscientists through innovative transdisciplinary training that embraces a global research perspective and the benefits of neuroscience for all.
