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 :
Science progresses when questions are answered. Questions are made when one tries to understand something. To fully understand a topic, one must see the bigger picture or look at it from different angles. Here is where diversity is key! Bringing people from different backgrounds together enables science to move forward.

I joined ALBA because :
Our research funding agency is committed to supporting diversity. We became aware of the Alba Network when Prof. Erin Schuman (one of our four CRC Advisory Board Members) was awarded the 2020 Alba Diversity Prize. By joining the Alba Network, we hope to share Alba's news and events with our consortium members through our monthly newletter among other channels.
