Global Leadership Opportunity: Scholarship in Mental Health for Cape Verde

Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health This represents an unmissable opportunity for professionals in Cape Verde who wish to lead the way in combating dementia and promoting neurological wellbeing. Organised by the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI), in partnership with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and Trinity College Dublin, this international programme aims to empower innovators from a range of fields to develop practical solutions that reduce the impact of neurodegenerative diseases on vulnerable communities.

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Local Impact

The programme stands out for welcoming not only doctors and researchers, but also artists, social scientists, journalists, activists and policy-makers. In the context of Cape Verde, where an ageing population presents new social and public health challenges, the fellowship provides crucial tools for designing strategies tailored to the archipelago’s local and socio-cultural context.

During the programme, scholarship holders take part in intensive mentoring sessions, as well as training in leadership, ethics and practical project development. The aim is to equip participants with the skills to transform brain health prevention and diagnosis in their home regions.

Benefits of the Programme

Successful candidates have access to comprehensive support to help them develop their vision:

  • Full funding: Coverage of participation costs, travel expenses and a stipend for the duration of the programme.
  • Global Network: Ongoing access to an international community of leaders and experts in brain health.
  • Project Support: Opportunity to secure competitive funding to implement initiatives with a direct impact in Cape Verde.

If you want to transform the landscape of brain health and make a lasting impact on your community, take this opportunity to expand your work on a global scale.
