First envisioned through a series of discussions on the “grand challenges” in neuroscience, the International Brain Initiative (IBI) has now been established to coordinate efforts across existing and emerging national and regional brain initiatives.

The IBI provides a platform for exploring new models of international collaboration between scientists, private and public funding bodies, industry partners, and government-related agencies.
