Principal Investigators
To tackle problems related to brain functions from different perspectives, FLiACT is composed of 11 European full partners and 1 associated partner from the USA. Each partner is specialised in different areas of systems neuroscience. Three of the full network partners are small enterprises (SMEs) with strong connections with academia.
This project was initiated by three institutes: CRG, MPI-Martinsreid and IBDML. Ilona Kadow, Nicolas Gompel and Benjamin Prud'homme will assist Matthieu Louis in the project coordination.
