I joined ALBA because :
During my PhD in Croatia, I have become more sensible about advocating for mental health of researchers, especially for young people just entering the academia. So my hope is to try and work on this issue with Alba network. Also, since my university doesn't have high resources for attending international conferences, I want to try to apply for travel grants and stipends offered by Alba.
