Strategy and Action plans of Neuroethics Associated with the Korea Brain Initiative

The Korea Brain Initiative is a Korea national brain project under Korea Brain Innovation 2030 and Korea Brain Promotion Act. Since the Korea Brain Initiative was launched in 2017, the multidisciplinary Neuroethics Research Group (NRG) has been organized, and the establishments of National Neuroethics Committee and Neuroethics Research Policy Center are being considered. The main strategies and action plans are focusing on the education of the general public, the training of scientists, and the strengthening of international cooperation.
