ALBA-IBRO ECC Event: Better Together - Making Neuroscience Research and its Benefits Global
11 September, 17:20-18:20 CEST, IBRO World Congress 2023, Granada, Spain

Organised with the support of IBRO, this event is conceived by the ALBA Network and the IBRO Early Career Committee to facilitate a wide-ranging discussion of what neuroscientists can do as a community to build research capacity in the Global South and how this increase for innovation can bring benefits to all. Our panellists will share some compelling experiences and success stories. They come from four continents and have met challenges as varied as their backgrounds.
