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 firmly believe and support initiatives for equity and inclusion. Alba network has already represented a strong leadership in advocating for under represented groups in neuroscience. I also have been recently benefited from one of ALBA's action. As a young researcher fellow I think it is interesting to have some guidance and mentorship, and can further contribute to promote e foster local initiatives.
