Understanding the human brain is one of the most significant challenges of our time. Despite considerable research, neuroscientists still lack an integrative, comprehensive understanding of the human brain. Neuroscience initiatives, such as those funded by the EU and other countries, are undertaking large-scale efforts to tackle this moonshot challenge. The International Brain Initiative (IBI) has been established to coordinate efforts across existing and emerging national and regional brain initiatives. In this STOA workshop, IBI representatives will describe their approach to shaping the future of international neuroscience collaborations through efforts in neuroethics, data policy and the dissemination of scientific resources. The initiatives involved in IBI aim to provide a robust forum for global information sharing and resources for collaborations. The event will be introduced with a talk by the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Professor Edvard MOSER.
