Fostering Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity in Neuroscience Training: A Virtual Workshop

Hosted by the National Academies:

Fostering a diverse neuroscience workforce, as well as an environment that is inclusive for all, are critical to the advancement of science and the future of the field. This virtual workshop—the third in a series—will tackle the broad topic of inclusion and diversity in neuroscience training to include discussions on racial equity (expanding on themes from the first workshop in the series), supporting a global workforce, institutional and geographic diversity, unique challenges for women in science, understanding how the goals of inclusion intersect with the goals around changing the culture of science. This workshop will also consider the changes needed to move the field forward in this space.
