✦ Synopsis
Why young scientists from developing countries need help
Young investigators in developing countries face a number of problems that limit their opportunity to participate in cutting edge science. They often have to work with outdated technology, and lack exposure to state-ofthe-art techniques. They have very few avenues to develop collaborations with leading scientists and laboratories. Language, too, can be a barrier. All these problems were considered when the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) [1] designed its newly initiated Young Investigator Program (YIP) [2].
International workshops and conferences are the engines of modern science.
