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 :
While being a neuroscientist working in France, I had the chance during my carreer to meet and work with fellows from diverse parts of the world and from underrepresented countries or groups. I do believe that unlocking the code of the Brain does require to veawe together all forces independently of geopolitical issues or gender. Yet, despite many progresses we still need to empower brain Science to be Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive. This mission is even more evident nowadays as we are facing a strong menace in many countries where scientists from underrepresented groups are persecuted or stopped in their studies or research. Therefore I want to add my voice to the important mission of ALBA.
