• Welcome new members to InTBIR and explain what we seek to achieve and how we plan to go about it.
• Provide an update from the Working Groups to allow members to choose areas of collaboration and contribution.
• Update members on proposed funding opportunities for TBI research and provide an opportunity to discuss collaborative multinational applications to address these opportunities.
