NAEC projects

 

“Brain Capital” considers brain skills and brain health as an indispensable part of the knowledge economy. In the Neuro-inspired Policy Initiative NAEC promotes this concept as an approach for thinking about the economy and how it works in new ways and is laying some of the groundwork, looking at relevant metrics and building up a network of interested actors in the medical field, neuroscience, philanthropy and business.
