BrainMind-OECD Neuroethics Advisory Committee
In collaboration with the OECD, BrainMind convened 30 interdisciplinary leaders in Paris to advise on securing the role of neuroethics in the future of neuroscience research and innovation. This gathering focused on the implementation of neuroethics frameworks across academia, entrepreneurship, public policy, and investing. The OECD Recommendation on Responsible Innovation in Neurotechnology served as a jumping-off point for the discussion.
This advisory meeting informed implementation efforts of neuroethics softlaw guidance, specifically highlighting concrete roles and activities of different actors. Meeting participants also helped to shape the agenda for the larger (tentatively 250 person) interdisciplinary summit to be convened by BrainMind and a number of international collaborators at the Asilomar California Conference Grounds in 2025. Convening key actors from the private sector, this effort identified best practices for implementing neuroethical inquiry toward advancing the most powerful neuroscience and neurotechnology outcomes for society.
