I joined ALBA because :
During my attendance at the IBRO congress in Granada, I had the opportunity to meet some of the ALBA network alumni. They spoke about the network and its mission, which captivated me. The fact that a minority can change the world of neuroscience and influence the careers of young neuroscientists is truly inspiring. As an individual from a third country, grants play a crucial role in my ability to attend scientific conferences all over the world. Unfortunately, my university and lab are unable to provide the necessary funds for such events.
