IBRO Grants for the Establishment of Neuroscience Networks and Societies: A Crucial Opportunity for Scientific Development in Cape Verde
The date 30 September 2026 marks the deadline for submitting applications for the IBRO (International Brain Research Organisation) Grants for the Creation of Neuroscience Networks and Societies, an initiative that represents a unique opportunity for Cape Verde to boost its research in the field of neuroscience. These grants aim to foster collaboration, the exchange of knowledge and the development of research infrastructure – all vital elements for scientific progress in any nation.
For Cape Verde, a rapidly developing country with a growing interest in strengthening its research capabilities, these scholarships act as a catalyst. The creation of robust neuroscience networks will not only enable our researchers to access world-class resources and expertise, but will also facilitate the establishment of local scientific societies, which are essential for the organisation, representation and visibility of the Cape Verdean neuroscience community. With IBRO’s support, it will be possible to develop training programmes, workshops and symposia that empower young talent and integrate the country into the global brain research network.
The impact of these scholarships extends beyond the purely academic sphere. A strong and active neuroscience community in Cape Verde could make a significant contribution to the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders, to the development of more effective public health policies, and to the promotion of a better quality of life for the population. Furthermore, the internationalisation of Cape Verdean research attracts investment and talent, consolidating the country’s position as a hub for innovation in the region.
We invite all researchers, higher education institutions and scientific associations in Cape Verde to take advantage of this valuable opportunity.
