## Profile

### Mission

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

* organizing annual meetings[3][4][5] to promote excellence in research on behavioural and neural genetics
* publishing a scholarly journal, Genes, Brain and Behavior in collaboration with Wiley-Blackwell[6][7]

### Awards

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

* The IBANGS Distinguished Investigator Award for distinguished lifetime contributions to behavioral neurogenetics
* The IBANGS Young Scientist Award for promising young scientists
* Travel Awards to attend an IBANGS Annual Meeting for students, postdocs, and junior faculty, financed by a meeting grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism[10][11][12]

A Distinguished Service Award for exceptional contributions to the field is given on a more irregular basis and as of 2020[update] 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 Karla Kaun (2022-2025).[14] Previous presidents have been:[15]
