Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health It is an extraordinary and transformative opportunity for leaders, researchers and professionals from Cape Verde who wish to make their mark in the global fight against dementia and promote brain health. This prestigious programme, based at the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) at Trinity College Dublin (Ireland) and the University of California, San Francisco (USA), focuses on equipping a new generation of global leaders to reduce the impact of dementia and protect cognitive health in vulnerable communities.

Why is this opportunity vital for Cape Verde?

Cape Verde faces unique demographic and epidemiological transition challenges, with its population progressively ageing and a pressing need to strengthen its public health system. By joining this fellowship programme, Cape Verdean candidates will have access to:

  • Multidisciplinary Education of Excellence: Practical learning in neurology, public policy, ethics, anthropology and the arts as applied to brain health.
  • Global Impact Network: Direct access to an international community of leaders and pioneering researchers.
  • Funding and Comprehensive Support: The programme covers travel and accommodation costs, tuition fees and provides a living allowance during the face-to-face training period in Dublin.

Programme structure

The selected participants (known as Fellows) will spend 12 months on a residential programme at Trinity College Dublin. During this period, they will develop a social or scientific impact project specifically designed to be implemented in Cape Verde, whilst benefiting from personalised mentoring from world-renowned scientists and experts.

The ideal candidate profile includes doctors, nurses, artists, policy-makers, social scientists and journalists who demonstrate an unwavering commitment to social equity and improving healthcare across the archipelago.
