Over 60% of research and development is carried out by industry.*
We believe that increasing dialogue and collaboration between industry and academia is integral to increasing the credibility of the whole neuroscience sector.
Some would argue that academia could learn a lot from the commercial sector when it comes to study design and quality control. Therefore, it is important we create an environment that places more value on the sharing of best practice - and encourages both sectors to collaborate much earlier in the research life cycle.
How can industry help?
If you work in the commercial sector and are interested in the credibility in neuroscience programme, and/or are interested in being part of a credibility in neuroscience network please contact us.
We would also appreciate your thoughts on open and reproducible science initiatives.
