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 :
These are challenging times for our scientific community throughout the world. More than ever, we must promote support for under-represented scientists. Through free exchange of information, we must engage in advocacy that integrates our academic advantage. We must take a global view in establishing relationships and collaborations in promoting diversity, and we must exude confidence; not anxiety.
