International Brain Injury Association (IBIA)

The International Brain Injury Association (IBIA) is dedicated to the development and support of multidisciplinary medical and clinical professionals, advocates, policy makers, consumers and others who work to improve outcomes and opportunities for persons with brain injury.

IBIA was established with the following goals in mind: to encourage an international exchange of information, to support research, to provide training especially in developing countries, and to advocate for brain injury. One of the approaches to achieve these goals was the creation of the World Congress on Brain Injury. Another approach was the creation of member states and organizations. IBIA also encouraged the development of country-wide associations, created by families and professionals joining to support brain injury research and service development.
