National Brain Councils (NBC) & National Action Groups (NAG)

Reports of Meetings

Several EU member states have formed, or are in the process of forming, National Brain Councils which are independent but aligned with the main goals of the EBC.

Since research funds in the member states far exceed the resources available at European level, the creation of national bodies that can campaign in their respective countries is an important way for the EBC and its member organisations to achieve their goals. Consequently, we have undertaken a project to encourage the formation of such groups in those member states that have not spontaneously created their own National Action Groups or Brain Councils. We have also developed a guide giving insight into the process of creation of such a national group as well as a detailed background information on the initiative.

With the financial support of some of our industrial members, we have targeted Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden so far.
