About 2RI Food4BrainHealth

The Food4BrainHealth International Research Network (Réseau de Recherche international – 2RI) project emerged from LIA OptiNutribrain and proposes to create a sustainable network of leaders in neuros and nutritional sciences in France and Canada.

The main objective of this network is to provide robust scientific data to define an optimized nutrition for brain health. This initiative will assemble public principal research institutions to promote scientific interactions of multidisciplinary groups from the two countries.

The objectives consist in:
1. Supporting exchanges and assembly of pioneer researchers;
2. Sharing current knowledge and novel research tools;
3. Enabling international training of young researcher;
4. Increasing bilateral collaborations.
