Advocacy & capacity building
One of our objectives is to advance the understanding of and improve the health of the developing brain through increased engagement across disciplines and within the broader society.
One way in which we do so is through capacity building activities, this includes building strategic networks and partnerships across different sectors and research disciplines, and also through developing our local infrastructure.
