Neurodiplomacy Working Group
The goal of this working group is to provide a platform for neurodiplomacy stakeholders worldwide to engage and accelerate the vision of IBI for the promotion of brain health for all people. For our vision to be accelerated, there is a need to provide space for world leaders in neuroscience, brain health, economy, industry, education, policy and other stakeholders to actively engage in building the social, economic and policy synaptic connectivity and synergistic networks that will shape the future of neuroscience and brain health for the benefit of all.
