Join us to grow your academic networks to strengthen research collaboration in brain and mind!
The Fudan - Sydney Brain and Intelligence Science Alliance (BISA) is a strategic partnership established in 2019 between Fudan University and the University of Sydney to raise research impact through translational research in fields related brain and mind research. Its goal is to train research leaders, advance technological innovation and scientific research and secure practical applications.
The workshop aims to bring together colleagues with shared interest in brain and mind research to review BISA progress and achievements, update our 2023 plan and priorities, and discuss how we could build team synergy to bring the best out of the collaboration and partnership.
You will be introduced to our new BISA Flagship and Accelerator project awardees as well as the new research theme leaders and learn about our new initiatives. While the ISTBI delegation will attend the event face-to-face, colleagues in China and other parts of the world are welcome to join us online.
