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 :
As a president of the IBRO-MENA, we plan to have the neuroscience more promoted in the Middle east and the Arab countries where we plan several activities and conferences. Teaming with ALBA will offer better scientific connection in the area of neuroscience which is an area that is undeserved in our region.
This kind of collaboration among neuroscientists will promote expertise exchange and will help students achieve better training in the area of neuro-related projects.
