The Circle of Friends brings together the major donors (individuals, companies, foundations and associations) who commit their generosity (from €10,000 a year) to research on the nervous system.
The primary vocation of the Circle of Friends of Paris Brain Institute is to bring together the most generous donors who accompany this tremendous human adventure to push the limits of knowledge. That is why we propose you to join this circle, YOUR circle, in which we create a special link with researchers to inform you in real time of the major scientific advances and prospects for better treatment and cure of diseases of the nervous system.
