Call for stall holders

Are you a dementia researcher in London? The organisers are looking for researchers and teams to host stalls at this year’s Open Day.

Stalls run from 1pm to 4pm, and the organisers are particularly keen on interactive, hands-on activities that bring current dementia research to life in an accessible way. Visitors will include people living with dementia, carers, families, students and members of the public, so it is a great chance to share your work with an audience well beyond the lab. If you are new to this kind of thing, this blog on public engagement and academia is a good place to start.

If you would like to host a stall, complete this short Google Form as soon as possible.
