In 2011 the Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI) launched its International Strategy thanks to the Rebecca Hotchkiss International Scholar Exchange (RHISE) Program. The overarching goal of the HBI’s International Strategy is to elevate the HBI’s research and education programs to a level of global excellence through meaningful international collaborations.
