SUMMARY:Workshop: International Perspectives on Defining and Measuring the Needs of Older LGBTQIA+ People
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will examine how we define and measure the distinct needs of older LGBTQIA+ people\, drawing on international perspectives and evidence of challenges such as social isolation\, mental health disparities\, barriers to care\, and discrimination\, to highlight key gaps and areas of inconsistency in how these needs are recognised.  \nWe will bring together global scholars\, care practitioners\, and community representatives for evidence sharing\, discussion\, and fostering future collaborative work. \n\nWe warmly invite researchers\, practitioners\, and community advocates to register for this workshop. Abstract submissions are also welcome from those wishing to present. Please click on the tabs above to do so. \nThe day will include: \n\nShort presentations from international researchers and practitioners\nA facilitated plenary discussion exploring what a future international ‘core needs’ framework should contain\n\nThis workshop will explore the distinct needs of older LGBTQIA+ people\, drawing on international perspectives to identify gaps in research\, policy\, and practice. Older LGBTQIA+ adults represent a growing and diverse population who face unique challenges as they age\, which can include increased social isolation\, higher rates of mental health difficulties\, barriers in accessing health and social care\, and persistent experiences of discrimination. Despite these challenges\, their needs are not well recognised within ageing\, frailty\, and palliative care research (among other areas)\, as well as in health and social care practice more broadly. \nThis workshop will be framed around a recent scoping review\, which synthesises the ways older LGBTQ+ people’s holistic needs have been recognised in research and in holistic need identification tools used in health and social care practice. The scoping review has identified both strengths and limitations in existing approaches\, revealing the lack of consensus on what constitutes the distinct and pressing needs for people who identify under this banner. We will bring together global scholars\, care practitioners\, and community representatives with a stake in this area\, for evidence sharing\, discussion\, and fostering future collaborative work. \nUpon registering you may be invited\, subject to available spaces\, to an optional e-Delphi consensus exercise that will be undertaken prior to the workshop commencing. This is aimed at developing identifying a set of ‘core needs’ for older LGBTQIA+ people with the ambition of starting to develop an international framework. \nORGANISERS \nDr Richard Green\, School of Health Sciences\, University of Surrey \nDr Milton Crenitte\, Geriatrician\, University of São Paulo \nDr Sarah Combes\, School of Health Sciences\, University of Surrey \nDr Ashok Jammigumpula\, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry\, Manipal Academy of Higher Education \nOrganised in partnership with the Centre of Excellence on Ageing \nFull programme to be announced with expected timings of 11:00-16:00 BST \nRegister

SUMMARY:Neuroinflammation in Health & Disease
DESCRIPTION:Neuroinflammation accompanies essentially all forms of central nervous system (CNS) insults. It can vary from acute reversable molecular changes aimed at preserving or restoring health and homeostasis\, to chronic perturbations that contribute to disease progression. \nMuch remains to be learned about the multicellular and multimolecular interactions that underlie different forms of neuroinflammation in different CNS disorders\, and how these interactions might be beneficially modulated to improve outcomes. This Keystone Symposia conference on Neuroinflammation in Health and Disease will examine how inflammation in the CNS across different contexts is manifest in healthy and diseased states. \nThe program explores multiple facets of neuroimmune pathways including genetic risk factors\, evolutionary origins and the roles of specific cell types in CNS immune response. It also includes recent insights into neuroinflammation in response to viruses\, in the context of the microbiome and aspects of autoimmunity. The speakers will present data that span cellular\, broader CNS and organismal behavioral effects of neuroinflammation. This meeting is being held jointly with another Keystone Symposia conference on Neurodegeneration: From Neurocentric to System-Wide Perspectives\, which provides a focused opportunity to explore how neuroinflammation connects with neurodegenerative disease biology. Through shared keynote and joint scientific sessions\, meals and poster sessions\, participants will have an opportunity to network and share cross-disciplinary insights\, encouraging innovative collaborations towards a deeper understanding of neurodegenerative disease and neuroimmune interactions\, and the pathways that interconnect them. \nJun 22–25\, 2026 | Fairmont Chateau Whistler\, Whistler\, BC\, Canada\nScientific Organizers: Michael V. Sofroniew\, Maria de Lourdes Gamez G Tansey\, and Robyn S Klein \n\nClick Here

SUMMARY:Qualitative Data Analysis for PhD Research
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of the programme committee\, I’m pleased to welcome you to the website of the Dutch Neuroscience Meeting 2026 (DNM 26). This meeting offers an excellent opportunity to connect and share research with scientists and clinicians across various neuroscience disciplines\, including neuroendocrinology\, psychology\, neurology and psychiatry. Our rich history can be tracked using the weblinks to the past editions of our meeting. \nWe are excited to return on June 25-26\, 2026\, to the Van der Valk Hotel in Tiel. This venue offers spacious rooms for parallel sessions\, a large hall for poster presentations\, a cosy lounge area for informal discussions\, and comfortable overnight accommodations. Given the expected high number of participants\, we strongly recommend room sharing whenever possible to ensure that as many colleagues as possible can stay on-site and fully experience the meeting atmosphere—including the not-to-be-missed evening programme. \nAs always\, the scientific and social programme is designed to foster meaningful interactions between scientists from different disciplines and institutes. At the heart of the meeting are the parallel seminar sessions\, carefully selected from your proposals\, alongside three distinguished keynote speakers. We look forward to welcoming a multidisciplinary audience of researchers and students. Our goal is to create an engaging environment that advances neuroscience research while stimulating exchanges between senior and junior scientists. \nWe invite and encourage all researchers to submit an abstract for one of the two poster sessions\, open to both established and early-career scientists\, including Master’s students. \nWe hope you will explore the outstanding programme and wholeheartedly invite you and your colleagues to attend DNM 26 on June 25-26\, 2026! \nOn behalf of the Organising Committee\, \n\nReview the Programme \nRegister

SUMMARY:Neuroreceptor Mapping 2026
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to Uppsala\, Sweden for the 15th Neuroreceptor Mapping Conference\, taking place June 27–30\, 2026. NRM has been a cornerstone meeting for the neuro-PET community since its first gathering in 1995\, bringing together researchers from around the world to share advances in molecular imaging of neuroreceptors. Following recent meetings in Boston\, London\, and Montreal\, we are excited to continue this tradition in Uppsala. Read more about our beautiful city here. \nNRM 2026 will offer a rich scientific program\, opportunities for meaningful exchange\, and a welcoming environment for both established and emerging researchers.
