Building Futures in Dementia Prevention
January 19 @ 4:00 pm - January 20 @ 5:00 pm
SPIN-D and INTERDEM Academy Joint event,
Northampton University, 19th (from 4pm) and 20th January, 2026
This event is aimed at early career researchers working in dementia research; it is focussed on developing new ideas for collaborative projects in the area. The event has three core aims:
- To build and strengthen early–mid career research networks across SPIN-D, INTERDEM and the wider dementia prevention community
- To encourage reflective thinking on priority areas in dementia prevention research, particularly around inclusion, cultural context and inequalities
- To create a supportive space for ideas to be collaboratively developed, with attendees working towards a co-agreed output or next step by the end of the event
The event follows an online workshop (although attendance at the previous online workshop is not required for attending the in person event in Northampton), at which the following themes were highlighted and will be used (adapted if needed) for creating initial breakout groups for research discussions and project planning:
- Psychosocial and holistic approaches
- Biological and clinical foundations of dementia prevention
- Lifestyle and health promotion interventions
In order to create a supportive and collaborative environment, we are capping numbers of attendees at 30. If you are interested to attend then please complete this form by 22nd December 2025 . ECRs are also offered financial support for one nights accommodation locally for Monday 19th January (please see the form for more information). If you require more information please contact spindnetworkplus@live.ucl.ac.uk.
