The International Behavioural and Neural Genetics Society (IBANGS) is a learned society that was founded in 1996. [1] The goal of IBANGS is "promote and facilitate the growth of research in the field of neural behavioral genetics". [2]

Profile

Mission

The IBANGS mission statement is to promote the field of neurobehavioural genetics [2] by:

Awards

Each year IBANGS recognizes top scientists in the field of neurobehavioral genetics with: [8] [9]

A Distinguished Service Award for exceptional contributions to the field is given on a more irregular basis and as of 2020 has been awarded only three times, to Benson Ginsburg (2001), Wim Crusio (2011), and John C. Crabbe (2015). [8]

History

IBANGS was founded in 1996 as the European Behavioural and Neural Genetics Society, with Hans-Peter Lipp as its founding president. [1] The name and scope of EBANGS were changed to "International" at the first meeting of the society in Orléans, France in 1997. [1] [13] IBANGS is a founding member of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies. [2]

The current president is Paul Meyer (2025–2026). [14] Previous presidents have been: [15]
