Alba embraces an essential mission towards equity and diversity in science.

I embrace the Alba missions and I would like to contribute to efforts that aim at raising awareness and increasing diversity in academia and STEM

Working towards a more equitable academic environment to nurture diversity, and to promote creativity has become an important personal goal as an active professional member within our scientific community. This goal requires actions at many different levels, from the lab to scientific organizations to entities developing policies. Thus, it is important to connect with colleagues who are working towards similar goals to assist and contribute to an important transformation that must take place to make science and scientific careers possible regardless of gender identity, race, ethnicity, disability, culture or socioeconomic status.

I just found out about it and I am so glad that a network for equality has arisen. If I can be of help, I want to.

I want to be actively involved in promoting equity and diversity in neuroscience.

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.

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.

To facilitate the visibility of minority and under represented groups working in (Neuro)Science, and promote diversity and inclusion policies in research and academic institutions in Portugal.

To be part of an initiative that is committed to promote equality in science and decision taking processes for all members who may face biases or are underrepresented due to gender, child care, cultural background, economic resources or physical handicaps.

Because diversity is key to do better and fairer science. And to improve its impact on society!

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.

In the current era it is pivotal to advocate for diversity and equity, not only in science but in all society. By joining forces in scientific field we will be setting the example for all society to change.
