SUMMARY:The Lived Experience and Researcher Network (LEARN)
DESCRIPTION:MND Scotland is once again hosting free\, interactive\, and educational local events focused on motor neuron disease research. The Lived Experience and Researcher Network (LEARN)\, organised by Scotland’s MND charity\, brings together people affected by motor neuron disease (MND) and local MND researchers. \nLEARN launched in 2023 when people with MND were invited to take tours of researchers’ laboratories and provide useful feedback to improve engagement events for people with MND and researchers. \nIn 2024\, 102 people attended four LEARN events in Aberdeen\, Dundee\, Edinburgh and Glasgow. \nThis year\, MND Scotland’s research team will be returning to Glasgow\, Aberdeen\, Edinburgh\, Dundee\, and an additional new location in Dingwall\, Scottish Highlands\, to help build relationships between researchers and people affected by MND and allow them to share knowledge and experiences. \nThe events will take place in football stadiums across the country thanks to the support from: Celtic FC\, Aberdeen FC\, Ross County Football Club\, Dundee United F.C.\, and Heart of Midlothian. \nOn the day\, attendees can expect to hear presentations from MND researchers; take part in open discussions with MND researchers and people affected by MND; participate in sessions facilitated to build relationships between attendees and researchers; and have opportunities to learn about current MND research. \nMotor neuron disease (MND) is a rapidly progressing terminal neurological illness\, which stops signals from the brain reaching the muscles. MND Scotland is the only charity in Scotland dedicated to directly supporting people living with motor neuron disease and their families and friends. \nThere are around 480 people in Scotland currently living with MND. There is no cure or meaningful treatments. \nMND Scotland supports the idea that the input and viewpoints of those with lived experience are vital to help guide research. \nKen McEwen and his wife Lesley attended the LEARN Aberdeen event in 2024: \nThe informative and engaging events will explore the latest developments in MND research for those affected by motor neuron disease and hopes to build relationships between those with lived experience and researchers to make sure that research reflects the needs of people with or affected by MND. \nMND Scotland invites those interested in this research learning event to hear more about their contribution in the fight against MND. \nEvent details (including information about parking\, accessibility\, and how to register) can be found here:  \n\nThursday 11 September 2025\, 2pm-5pm\, Celtic Park\, Glasgow https://mndscotland.org.uk/events/learn-glasgow/\nTuesday 23 September 2025\, 2pm-5pm\, Pittodrie Stadium\, Aberdeen https://mndscotland.org.uk/events/learn-aberdeen\nTuesday 7 October 2025\, 2pm-5pm\, Tynecastle Park\, Edinburgh https://mndscotland.org.uk/events/learn-edinburgh\nWednesday 22 October 2025\, 2pm-5pm\, Tannadice Park\, Dundee https://mndscotland.org.uk/events/learn-dundee\nThursday 30 October 2025\, 2pm-5pm\, Ross County\, Dingwall: https://mndscotland.org.uk/events/learn-dingwall\n\nThe online registration link can also be access here: https://forms.office.com/e/WS8VUJLYFz \nFor more information about MND Scotland\, please visit: www.mndscotland.org.uk\, email: info@mndscotland.org.uk\, or call: 0141 332 3903.

SUMMARY:Swiss Network for Dementia Research Webinar: Post-stroke cognitive impairment
DESCRIPTION:Swiss Network for Dementia Research Webinar by PD Dr. med. Roza Umarova\, Inselspital Bern \n‘Post-stroke cognitive impairment’ refers to the cognitive deficits experienced after a stroke. These deficits may affect any cognitive domain\, e.g. memory\, attention or cognitive flexibility. While some patients recover\, many experience persistent or progressive deficits. It is important to understand more about this topic because stroke can accelerate ageing and neurodegenerative processes\, leading to post-stroke dementia. \nIn her talk\, Dr Roza Umarova will present her own research on post-stroke cognitive trajectories and demonstrate how cognitive reserve can protect cognitive processing after a stroke. \nEvent details:\nDate: 30.10.2025\nTime: 16:00\nDuration: 45 minutes (includes Q&A)\nLocation: Online (link to be provided upon registration) \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Evaluating and Improving Engagement of People with Lived Experience in Dementia Research
DESCRIPTION:The ISTAART Partnering with Research Participants Professional Interest Area (PIA) invites you to a four-part learning series titled Evaluating and Improving Engagement of People with Lived Experience in Dementia Research. \nThe goal of this series is to build capacity and skills of researchers to conduct evaluations of research/projects that engage people with lived experience. Over the entire meeting series\, each participant will take part in both didactic learning and discussion sessions that help them to develop an evaluation plan  for a research/project that engages people with lived experience of dementia in order to improve their work. \nLearning objectives for participants include: \n\nDevelop or enhance knowledge of basic approaches to evaluation and improvement\nBuild skills in using an approach to evaluation that can be applied in participants’ own work\nDevelop or enhance knowledge of various data collection methods used in evaluation\nIdentify effective and relevant data collection methods for participants’ own evaluation purposes\nAddress ethical and methodological issues in order to be dementia friendly in the evaluation\nArticulate an evaluation and improvement plan\n\nEach virtual meeting will be 90 minutes. Sessions will include short didactic “theory bursts”\, small group peer feedback conversations\, and large group discussions. Attendees should aim to participate in all four meetings to gain the most impact and benefit from the training. Participants will be expected to individually complete brief pre-work for each session in order to incrementally develop their own evaluation plan. All four meetings (not small group discussions) will be recorded\, for those who may be unable to attend a session. \nOur schedule is: \n\nSession #1: Thursday October 30\, 2025 at 3 p.m. C.T.\nSession #2: Wednesday December 10\, 2025 at 10 a.m. C.T.\nSession #3: Wednesday\, February 18\, 2026\, 10 a.m. C.T.\nSession #4: Thursday\, April 23\, 2026 at 3 p.m. C.T.\n\nRegistration for the series is required.  Once registered\, a calendar invitation for each session will be sent to you.
