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.

Species : vertebrate
I joined ALBA because :
I have been an elected student representative of our Bio faculty's equalty council for more than 3 years now, fighting for equal opportunities and diversity within my university. I would now like to take my efforts outside my institution and promote these ideas more globally. I would furthermore like to connect with similar-minded Neuroscientists of all levels in Academia, especially in light of the current pandemic's challenges on international networking.
It would be a joy and an honour to join the ALBA network and be a part of this much needed change!
