ANA Brain Science Discussion Groups - Join Us! ANA Special Interest Groups (SIGs) Beta Hub Our Special Interest Groups (SIGs) Hub is now located on the ANA Community Platform. As part of the ANA Community Platform launch, we're thrilled to bring SIGs directly to you within the dedicated Members Area. Many of you have already expressed interest in joining or leading a SIG — a safe space to share and bring to light insights, research, and lived experience that too often remains hidden or under-explored. The SIG Hub aims to make participation even more seamless while opening up the option to lead a SIG yourself! We value your input during this testing phase and look forward to your feedback as we work to enhance how members engage and collaborate. 📍IMPORTANT Only registered ANA Full Members are eligible to lead a SIG. All registered ANA members are eligible to join a SIG and are automatically added to ALL SIGs upon registration. You can access your groups by logging into your account and navigating to MY GROUPS, or by clicking the button below. If you'd like to opt out of a SIG, simply message the relevant SIG Lead via the Member Chat to request removal. Check out SIGs Today!

ANA is founded on an Ethical Charter and a set of Professional Guiding Principles for Applied Neuroscientists all over the world Independent Professional Body ANA is an independent professional body and global knowledge network. As the first professional body for applied neuroscience in the world, ANA and members are shaping the future of this field by: Defining Professional Standards – established qualifications to delineate the domain of applied neuroscience Living by an Ethical Charter – ANA Ethical Practice Guidelines (AEPG) Establishing a CPD Programme – affiliating training and education to ANA membership Advocating for Authority – Lobbying for authority to regulate the profession across industry, education, and healthcare Recognition - pursuing formal recognition through instruments like the Science Council and Royal Charter Professional Membership Science Council Professional Registration Professional registration with the Science Council is a priority goal for ANA. We aim to become a licensed professional body, enabling members a direct route to professional registrations, including Chartered Scientist (CSci) and Registered Scientist (RSci). In the meantime, ANA members may apply for these professional registrations directly through the Science Council — provided they meet the eligibility criteria, including membership with one of the Council’s existing Licensed Bodies . We will share updates as ANA progresses toward becoming a licensed body. Professional Registration ANA Member Badges Upon registering with the ANA Community as a professional member, ANA Member Badge can be displayed on business websites, professional networks, social profiles, and for any collaboration with ANA.
