A formal collaboration between funding agencies has recently been established to promote research in TBI: International Initiative on Traumatic Brian Injuries Research (InTBIR). In this context the European Commission has issued a call in the context of the framework 7 program. EBIC will be participant in an application which is being prepared by Prof. Andrew Maas (Antwerp University Hospital) and Professor David Menon (University of Cambridge). The intended collaboration with EBIC will create many exciting opportunities for EBIC centers.
