The Neuro Next Initiative recognizes that the most innovative communities are made up of individuals with a broad range of perspectives committed to supporting and learning from each other. We aim to foster a research community built on the values of inclusion and belonging. One where individuals feel welcome and empowered to advance the fields of neuroscience and neurotechnology supported by colleagues dedicated to strengthening the field by amplifying the voices of lived experience in our labs, classrooms, clinics, and meeting rooms.
As stewards of both innovation and inclusivity, we also recognize that the increasing societal integration of neurotechnologies can change life in unexpected ways for patients and communities. We are dedicated to cultivating a diverse and inclusive community passionate about innovation that is responsible and equitable.
We aim to carry forth the values of Georgia Tech's commitment to inclusive excellence in several ways:
-
Facilitating the creative exchange of ideas across disciplines with a foundational belief that all perspectives and fields of expertise are equally valuable and important
-
Strive to remove barriers to access and success, and to build an inclusive community where people of all backgrounds have the opportunity to learn and contribute to our mission
-
Advocating for the responsible deployment of research and technologies
-
Create an environment of holistic opportunity where all individuals can grow and learn to lead healthy, purposeful, and impactful lives.
