The International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF; www.incf.org) is an international organization launched in 2005, following a proposal from the Global Science Forum of the OECD. INCF was established to facilitate and promote the sharing of data and computing resources in the international neuroscience community, and to advance training in the field. A larger objective of INCF is to advance data reuse and reproducibility in brain research, by coordinating the development of Open, FAIR, and Citable tools and resources for neuroscience.

The global INCF community provides coordination of global neuroscience infrastructure through the development and endorsement of consensus-based standards and best practices and trains scientists, administrators, and students in using neuroinformatics tools and methods. We are developing a training platform and building the community to support it and its student communities.

INCF activities are open to all who can contribute to neuroinformatics at the international level. We have a global community of neuroscience researchers working on new and improved tools for all of neuroscience – enabling other researchers to make more and faster discoveries, and improving our understanding of the brain.
