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.
