Moving on

• Grant to support UK node failed Aug 2015
• UK now “associate member” status
• Looking at new ways forward

Towards a new Neuro- Network:
Meeting 3 May 2016

• Organized by Leslie Smith with funding from Wellcome Trust and eFutures.
• Aim to relaunch the network, with focus on closer engagement with experimental/clinical areas.
• ~60 attendees.

Key outcomes

• Explore links with British Neuroscience Association (BNA).
• Revisit UK data-sharing policies to strengthen neuroinformatics.
• Exploit UK niche areas: training, clinicial neuroscience, neuro-engineering.
