The Atlantic Fellows programme for Equity in Brain Health is one of seven global Atlantic Fellows programmes aimed at fostering more inclusive, equitable, and healthy societies.
People from a wide range of fields, including the arts, sciences, economics, policy, medical, media, community-based practise, and much more, are welcome to apply to the programme. Whatever the field, they are seeking people with excellent ideas, zeal, and leadership potential who are working in the field of dementia and brain health. Additionally, the ideal fellow is someone who connects across disciplines, dismantles conventional barriers, and is dedicated to addressing problems related to global disparities in brain health and dementia.
