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.

Cognitive neuroscience
Disorders of the nervous system
Neuroscience of aging
Analysis of behavior and cognition in non-human animal
Cell culture
Data analysis and statistics

Molecular approaches
Species : vertebrate
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 :
Women's contributions to sciences have been underestimated. More than ever, equality among genders must operate in neurosciences (and every other scientific fields). I believe that it is extremely important that every human being must have the same rights, opportunities and recognition, so totally agree with Alba Network actions.

I joined ALBA because :
I'm a young female researcher which feels strongly that implicit bias needs to stop. Equal opportunities should be being given to all. Alba presents as an important initiative to move the scientific world in that direction, and so I would be glad to be a part of it.
