Neuroscience Training: Developing a Nimble and Versatile Workforce – A Virtual Workshop Series

Completed

Topics

The Action Collaborative on Neuroscience Training: Developing a Nimble and Versatile Workforce, an initiative associated with the National Academies’ Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders, brings together a wide range of stakeholders, representing different sectors and career stages, to examine current and future workforce needs within and outside of academia and explore how these should inform neuroscience training programs. The first initiative of this action collaborative is this virtual workshop series aimed at convening stakeholders from across the neuroscience career landscape to illuminate critical issues in this space and provide a venue for discussing potential solutions and ways forward.
