SUMMARY:Barcelona Blood-Brain Barrier Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) separates the blood circulation from the brain tissue. However\, despite its name\, the BBB is far from a static\, impenetrable barrier. Instead\, this highly dynamic structure responds to and regulates the complex requirements of brain function. To advance our knowledge of how the BBB impacts health and disease\, the 2nd edition of the Barcelona Blood-Brain Barrier Conference will bring together scientists from across the globe to discuss emerging topics in BBB physiology\, pathology and translational research. This interdisciplinary event will incorporate neuroscience\, vascular biology\, protein engineering\, bioengineering\, and nanomedicine to provide a unique platform to foster collaboration and address challenges shaping the future of this field. \nIn the name of the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the Institut Químic de Sarrià (IQS)\, we look forward to welcoming you to the vibrant and historic city of Barcelona to take part in these lively discussions\, make lasting connections\, and push the boundaries of the field forward. \nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\nSubmit your abstract now!\nSubmit your abstract via the abstract submission system. You will be required to set up an account first.\nAll submissions will be reviewed based on technical merit\, readability\, relevance\, and originality.\nIf you have any questions about the submission process\, check the FAQ or contact us. \n\n\n\nSubmit your abstract online\n\n\nAbstract submission deadline: April 25th\, 2025\nConfirmation of acceptance of abstracts: May 19th\, 2025\nEarly bird registration deadline: June 6th\, 2025\nRegular registration deadline: August 1st\, 2025\nConference: Oct 1st – Oct 3rd\, 2025

SUMMARY:NCRM Annual Lecture 2025
DESCRIPTION:The NCRM Annual Lecture 2025 will explore the ways in which researchers can use AI responsibly in their work. \nThe free event will take place on Wednesday\, 1 October 2025 in the magnificent surroundings of The British Academy in London. It will also be streamed online. \nFour panellists will offer expert insight on this crucial topic and answer pressing questions facing the research community. \nPlease note: in-person tickets for the event have now sold out. To join a waiting list\, please click the registration link below. \nOnline registration remains open. \nAbout the event\nAI is everywhere\, affecting everything: our jobs\, public services\, the media\, the way companies do business\, the way governments are run\, the way we conduct our research. \nChanges seem to be continuing. Impacts seem to be increasing. AI is in the news every day as somebody builds a new bot to do some everyday task\, or a tech company upgrades its software to a new version with new features and capabilities. \nMeanwhile\, increasingly important questions are being raised about how researchers can develop\, deploy and use AI responsibly. And given the talk about AI agency\, what does responsible AI even mean? \nThe NCRM Annual Lecture 2025 will bring together four experts on AI with different perspectives. The panel will discuss AI futures and ethics\, and what this all means for education and research. \nThe panellists are: \n\nProfessor Dame Wendy Hall\, University of Southampton\nProfessor David De Roure\, University of Oxford\nDr Zeba Khanam\, BT\nDr Mark Carrigan\, The University of Manchester\n\n\nProgramme\nThe event will begin with a reception and light refreshments in The Lee Library\, before a welcome from NCRM’s Director and the discussion itself. Below is the schedule for the evening: \n18:00 – Reception \n18:40 – Welcome from Professor Gabriele Durrant\, Director of NCRM \n18:45 – Introductions by Professor Mark Elliot\, Vice-Director of NCRM and panel chair \n19:00 – Discussion \n20:00 – Questions \n20:30 – Close \nVenue\nThe venue for the NCRM Annual Lecture 2025 is: \nThe British Academy\n10-11 Carlton House Terrace\nLondon\nSW1Y 5AG \nThe event will take place in the Reading Room on the ground floor of the building. Read accessibility information about the venue. \nPanellists’ biographies\nDame Wendy Hall\, DBE\, FRS\, FREng is Regius Professor of Computer Science\, Associate Vice President (International Engagement) and is Director of the Web Science Institute at the University of Southampton.
