INCF community blog
The INCF community blog is where we collect news, success stories, information about the INCF Assembly, our workshops, and community activities. Community members are encouraged to submit relevant job openings, write guest posts, review and recap events, and suggest content that they would like to see featured on the blog.
Do you have a success story related to neuroinformatics, standardization, or FAIR and open neuroscience? Are you hiring for a job related to neuroinformatics? Did you attend one of our events and want to do a write-up? Let us know in this form!
INCF plans to apply as a mentoring organisation for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2026, and we are inviting experienced researchers, developers, and community members to propose project ideas and serve as mentors. Please feel free to forward this call to potentially interested mentors in your network.
The Professional Development Workshop at SfN 2025 brought together an engaged audience of early-career neuroscientists looking to understand what their futures could look like beyond the traditional academic path.
Join us for an inspiring panel featuring professionals who have successfully transitioned from neuroscience research into impactful roles across industry, technology, and science policy at SfN2025.

Host: International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF)In an era where neuroscience is evolving faster than ever, the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) gathered its global community for an open Town Hall to discuss how we can best adapt — and lead — in this changing landscape.
As part of the upcoming Joint INCF–EBRAINS Day at the EBRAINS Summit 2025, a dedicated session will bring together leaders from major international neuroscience research infrastructures to discuss how the community can strengthen collaboration and maximize collective impact.
This event is an opportunity for all members of the INCF community to learn about our new mission for neuroscience communities and to share perspectives that will shape our strategy, partnerships, and priorities for the years ahead.
The neuroscience community continues to embrace openness and collaboration, and the recent INCF Workshop on FAIR Neuroscience provided researchers with an immersive opportunity to explore advanced tools and techniques for data sharing, analysis, visualization, and simulation.-
We are excited to announce that this year, INCF will partner with the EBRAINS Research Infrastructure to host a joint EBRAINS Summit 2025 – INCF Assembly 2025. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to building an open, FAIR, and collaborative future for neuroscience.
Registration is open for the upcoming 2-day digital course “Neuroscience data integration through use of digital brain atlases”, hosted by the University of Oslo in collaboration with EBRAINS.-
The National Centre for Biological Sciences(NCBS) is looking to fill several new faculty positions. Candidates with 3-6 years of postdoctoral experience will be considered for an Assistant Professor position. Those with experience as tenured independent investigators will be considered for senior level appointments.
