The INCF Multiscale Modeling Meeting, India (IMMMI), marked the entry of India into INCF and initiated the process of node formation. The workshop was held in November 2009 at NCBS Bangalore.  This meeting brought together scientists working on models of many different scales of neuroscience, from single molecules up to entire neural systems and behaviour. The meeting report will feed into the deliberations of the INCF Program on Multiscale Modeling.

There were a number of initiatives to follow up from the IMMMI meeting that will form the start of the activities of the Indian Node. These included three specific projects that were well-represented from among the Indian research community:
- Developing standards and models at the interface between biochemical signaling and electrical activity of neurons
- Modeling of the brain as a tissue
- Mechanical simulations

The 2011 INCF Indian Node Annual meeting and workshop will take place in New Delhi, November 1-3.
