| Description |
The International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) was established through the Global Science Forum of the OECD in 2005 to develop a collaborative neuroinformatics infrastructure and promote the sharing of data and computing resources to the international research community. The INCF opened its secretariat in Stockholm in 2006 and now has 16 member countries (Belgium, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Republic of Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States). There are currently Programs in Digital Atlasing, Ontologies of Neural Structures, Multiscale Modeling and Datasharing, which are providing important building blocks for community data standardization and sharing. In addition, INCF is leading the development of a neuroinformatics infrastructure for clinical and neuroscientific data sharing, archiving, publishing, analysis, visualization, modeling and simulation - using grid, cloud and supercomputing infrastructures.
