SUMMARY:Dementia Prevention Forum
DESCRIPTION:As part of a new pilot to explore alternatives to the traditional journal club\, this one-hour online session invites researchers working with dementia prevention and risk reduction\, and those interested in the field. \nIn this first meeting we will focus on exploring recent shifts and the latest research on dementia prevalence. Join us to discuss the latest papers\, new discoveries\, research and data challenges\, and new emerging methods\, and of course\, your own work. The format is informal and researcher-led – no presentations\, no pressure. \nOpen to anyone with something to share or discuss. Come along and help shape the future of how we connect and learn as a research community. \nHosted by Michelle Reshef \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Fostering inclusion: strategies to transform academic work cultures
DESCRIPTION:Fostering a culture of belonging is key to creating inclusive and supportive academic workplaces where all researchers can thrive. Yet building such a culture requires more than good intentions — it demands concrete\, sustained efforts at both structural and interpersonal levels. \nThis workshop will spotlight real-world initiatives that have successfully improved workplace climate across organisations. From mentoring and inclusive leadership to flexible working policies\, participants will explore a wide range of strategies that promote equity\, transparency\, and wellbeing in their lab\, society\, department etc. \nThrough practical examples\, lived experience\, and interactive breakout sessions\, attendees will gain actionable tools they can adapt to their own institutional contexts. Particular emphasis will be placed on cost-effective\, scalable approaches that support cultural change across diverse settings. \nThis session is for anyone committed to turning the values of the ALBA Declaration on Equity and Inclusion into tangible improvements in academic work culture. \nRegister\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nProfessor Adrian Liston is an immunologist and professor of pathology at the University of Cambridge (UK) and equalities fellow at St Catharine’s College. He conducts research at the intersection of immunology and neuroscience\, and is prolific writer and workshop coordinator on the topics of navigating a science career and improving research culture. \nDr Ibukun Akinrinade is a postdoctoral researcher at the Bains lab in the Hotchkiss brain Institute (HBI)\, University of Calgary. Her research seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms of stress regulation and how social presence influences behavioural outcomes. She aims to understand how stressors and social support interact to impact an individual’s well-being. \nShe is also passionate about open science and inspiring/training the next generation of scientists. She has organized and participated in hands-on training workshops in Africa. She is a member of science communication hubs in Africa. \n\n\n\nFrom Declaration to action workshop series\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ALBA Declaration on Equity and Inclusion serves as a vital call to action within the neuroscience community\, yet feedback\, gathered through a survey sent to all Declaration organisational signatories\, indicates a pressing need to make these goals more accessible and actionable. To address this\, we are launching a three-part webinar series designed in a workshop format to provide practical guidance on implementing these principles in daily practices. Each webinar will feature experts with hands-on experience in action items listed in the Declaration. More \n\n\nDeclaration action points covered\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is related to the Declaration action points listed below. The aim of the workshop is therefore to help attendees understand why these points are needed\, how they are interconnected and how to practically undertake them. \n\n\n\nPART 2 – An inclusive workplace culture is a healthy environment for all\n\nEstablish a positive workplace environment\n\n\nAdopt and enforce a code of conduct\nFollow the Singapore Statement on Research Integrity\nEndorse the DORA Declaration on Research Assessment\nProvide onboarding/orientationfor new employees to navigate organizational & local cultural norms\nEstablish a mentoringsystem\n\n\nPromote healthy work-life balance\n\n\nSchedule all events during appropriate working hours\nAllow for flexiblehours and teleworking where possible\nFacilitate access to child/family care(through onsite facilities and/or subsidization where possible)\n\n\nEstablish transparent career structures\n\n\nImplement clear advancementcriteria\nEnsure equal payfor equivalent positions\nEnsure equitable service loadsfor teaching\, advising\, and committees\nExplicitly recognize servicecontributions\nConsider broadening career pathsto provide opportunities beyond PI role
