The Network

ALBA represents a global diverse network of individual neuroscientists who are involved in research, education, communication and advocacy, and are committed to supporting and advocating for actions and policies that foster diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in brain sciences across the globe. We currently have 1890 individual members from 91 countries.

I joined ALBA because :
By joining the ALBA Network, you demonstrate your commitment to promoting change in neuroscience, specifically in terms of equal opportunities. It provides you with tools to network and collaborate with other experts in the field. Through mentoring programs, I can contribute to fostering a positive change in the field, promoting a more inclusive and equitable future for all of us. I have a keen interest in this topic due to my personal experience as a female neuroscientist and mother of three, two of whom are also girls. I actively participated in creating a local support network for female researchers during my postdoctoral stage, called 'STEM Circuits.' I am delighted to be a part of a larger network that focuses on my research field.
