ANA is an independent professional body and global knowledge network for applied neuroscience.

​

​Together, we align around a shared vision, mission, purpose, and values that guide everything we do — from governance to grassroots action:

​

VISION

A world that recognises Brain Capital (brain health & brain skills) as core assets for human and economic flourishing.
 

PURPOSE

Translating neuroscience in society to build measurable Brain Capital.

​

MISSION

Empowering ethically applied neuroscience for global impact.

 

VALUES
JOIN US to get the answers to these values based questions, and help us to shape the outcomes:

• ETHICS – Applying Neuroscience Responsibly in Society
  Where in the system can ethics act as the fulcrum for action?

• SUSTAINABILITY – Ensuring Representation across Global Communities
  How can applying neuroscience in society drive a more equitable future?

• INNOVATION – Powering a Transdisciplinary Ecosystem
  What new possibilities emerge when diverse brains meet tech frontiers?

• GROWTH – Driving Collective Brain Health and Brain Skills Social Impact
  Why does investing in the Brain Economy and Brain Capital matter?

​

Here’s what this means in practice:

​

Cross-disciplinary Global ANA Network​

• Why: Multi-interdisciplinary NEURO NETWORK accelerating joined up thinking to solve complex problems.

• What: To build the worlds largest network of applied neuroscientists and applied academics/professionals.

• How: Build a sustainable infrastructure to assure the growth and connectivity of the ANA Network

​​

Ethically Applied Neuroscience

• Why: To ensure the equitable application of neuroscience, upholding ethical standards.

• What: Establish an Ethical Charter that guides the responsible application of neuroscience in society.

• How: Members commit to the NEURO CHARTER and SOCIAL PLEDGES as measures of their global impact.

 

Improving Lives

• Why: To enhance everyday life through brain science driven solutions and education: NEURO LEARN.

• What: Bridging the translation gap between discoveries in brain science and allied disciplines and real-life

• How: Advancing applications in healthcare, education, industry, and raising public awareness.

​​

Global Impact

• Why: To make neuroscience advancements accessible to all, empowering individual differences.

• What: Grow the ANA NETWORK to 10,000 by the end of 2035 to deliver the mission.

• How: Converting brain science investment and innovation into applied solutions through global networks.
