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!
