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!
One of our main missions at INCF is to champion the core tenets of FAIR neuroscience and one project that has particularly caught our attention in such efforts is the web-based data analysis environment Neurodesk (neurodesk.org), which emphasizes portability and reproducibility in neuroimaging analysis.
We are happy to announce that INCF has been accepted as an umbrella organization in the Google Season of Docs (GSoD) program for 2024! In this year’s GSoD, we are teaming up with the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) team in the US, supporting their project entitled Streamlining the BIDS Online Presence.
On January 18-19 2024, the first Norwegian Neuroscience Data Sharing Workshop was held in Oslo. This two-day event was organized as a collaboration between the Norwegian EBRAINS Node (EBRAINS Norway), the Norwegian Neuroinformatics Node (INCF Norway) and the Neural Systems Laboratory, UiO.
Are you interested in speaking at INCF Neuroinformatics Assembly 2024? We are seeking 3 investigator presentations for each of the 4 main sessions at INCF Neuroinformatics Assembly 2024:
INCF is happy to announce that 2024 marks the fourth year of an on-going fellowship program with ReproNim, a reproducible analysis framework for neuroimaging science.
We are happy to announce that INCF will submit an application to serve as a mentoring organization for Google Season of Docs 2024 (GSoD).
INCF participated as a GSoD mentoring organization during the 2019 and 2020 cycles, identifying and recruiting open source projects serving the neuroscience community in need of technical writer support.
Thanks to all writers who contacted us about participating in Google Season of Docs with INCF and the Brain Imaging Data Standard (BIDS).
In a continuing effort to identify barriers to data sharing and reuse among neuroscience researchers worldwide, INCF’s Infrastructure Committee is redistributing a brief anonymous survey.

The INCF Infrastructure Portfolio encompasses a compilation of neuroscience data repositories and scientific gateways, based on the evaluation criteria established by the INCF Infrastructure Committee between 2020 and 2021, and as outlined in our 2022 Scientific Data article.
INCF is proud to announce InterLex as the newest addition to our Infrastructure Portfolio. InterLex models terms using primitives of the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and can export directly to a variety of standard ontology formats.
INCF is happy to announce a new addition to our Infrastructure Portfolio, the Open Data Commons for Traumatic Brain Injury (ODC-TBI). With almost 200 datasets and 16 DOIs from over 100 labs, ODC-TBI is a data-sharing portal and repository for traumatic brain injury (TBI) data.
