Description
The International Brain Injury Association was founded by George A. Zitnay, PhD and Martin B. Foil, Jr. following an international meeting on brain injury held at Oxford University in April of 1993. The formation of IBIA came as a recommendation by the group assembled in Oxford, that a need existed for an international organization that worked with professionals and families from a multidisciplinary approach.
IBIA was established to encourage international exchange of information, to support research, to provide training especially in developing countries and to advocate for brain injury. One of the approaches taken by IBIA was the creation of the “World Congress on Brain Injury”.
