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 :
I actively support and encourage equality, diversity, and inclusion within academia. As A female Iranian immigrant to the UK, I know first-hand how difficult it can be to feel accepted as a member of the scientific community, therefore, I always look to be engaged with society and develop my networking.
