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.

Science will only grow if we do it altogether. More people, more views, more ideas: diversity is a key component to achieve this. Unfortunately, the world of today is still unfair with minority groups and neuroscience does not escape from this reality. Promoting diversity requires direct actions and engagement, and that is why I would like to join this ambitious and necessary initiative.
