joint initiatives

The INN's objective is to serve as a means of communication and support among neuroethicists around the world. The INN was launched by CIHR-INMHA in 2005 at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in Washington, D.C. under the leadership of Remi Quirion (INMHA), Judy Illes (UBC) and Astrid Eberhart (INMHA). The network is now headquartered at UBC, managed by Dr. Angie Kehagia and has several ongoing projects featured here. For more information please visit the INN's website.
