SUMMARY:EFAR Conference on the Biology of Aging
DESCRIPTION:The first Conference of the European Federation for Aging Research will bring together researchers from across Europe and beyond to discuss the biological processes that shape ageing\, longevity and age-related disease. \nTaking place in Cologne\, the conference aims to encourage scientific exchange\, strengthen collaboration between Europe’s ageing research communities and support early career researchers entering the field. \nAbout the conference\nThe European Federation for Aging Research was established by the German Society for Aging Research\, the Dutch Society for Research on Ageing\, Nordic Aging and the British Society for Research on Ageing. \nEFAR aims to connect researchers across Europe\, promote ageing research\, support the development of younger scientists and encourage policies that strengthen the field. Further national ageing research societies are also expected to join the federation. \nFor dementia and neurodegeneration researchers\, the meeting may be particularly relevant to those investigating the biological mechanisms that connect ageing with cognitive decline\, cellular dysfunction and age-related disease. \nProgramme\nThe scientific programme will include six main conference sessions featuring invited speakers and presentations selected from submitted abstracts. \nThe conference will open on Wednesday 14 October\, followed by two scientific sessions and an evening poster session with food and refreshments. Thursday will include three further scientific sessions and an EFAR members’ meeting.

SUMMARY:Embedding PPI in Grant Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Brighton and Sussex Medical School invites you to join our workshop focusing on embedding meaningful Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) in research grant applications. \nDuring the session\, Senior Academic Researchers from Brighton and Sussex Medical School and the University of Sussex will share their experiences of integrating PPI into research projects from the earliest stages of development. They will discuss practical approaches to meaningful community involvement and demonstrate how these activities have strengthened successful grant applications. \nThe workshop aims to support researchers in planning\, delivering and effectively reporting on PPI activities within their own projects\, with a view to specifically helping them to develop stronger grant applications. As meaningful PPI is now an expected component of most funding applications\, this session will offer practical insights into how to demonstrate the value and impact of involvement activities in grant proposals. \nPlease note this meeting will be hybrid. For those wishing to join in person\, it will be taking place at the University of Sussex\, JMS building\, Kroto Room 2B4\, for those wishing to attend digitally\, please join via this teams invite.  \n\nClick Here

SUMMARY:Barcelona Blood-Brain Barrier Conference – B4 2026
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. \nTo advance our knowledge of how the BBB impacts health and disease\, the 3rd 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. \nEvent Details

SUMMARY:Qualitative Methods for Understanding Diverse Lives
DESCRIPTION:In this one-day online training workshop you will be introduced to four qualitative research methods to better understand diverse lives – Photo Go-Alongs\, Collage\, Life History Interviews and Participant Packs. When researching social groups\, researchers may focus on categories such as age\, gender\, sexuality and so on. These categories can turn catch-all terms into catch-all agendas. \nTreating groups of people with one shared characteristic as homogenous risks a cookie-cutter approach which overlooks diverse lives and needs. Given the complexity of what it means to be a person\, a one-size fits all approach to engagement cannot suffice. The methods introduced in this training workshop are beneficial in exploring diverse lives and can be used when researching with any group. \nThe session is aimed at PhD students and academics of all career stages across the UK who want to better understand: \n\nThe specific place-based needs of people\nThe everyday practices of people\nThe world from participants’ perspectives\nHow to work with people in an inclusive and accessible way\n\nThis online training workshop will be structured as follows:   \n\nIntroductions\nOrigins and Approach\nMethods deep dive:\n\nPhoto Go-Alongs\nParticipant packs\nCollage\nLife Histories\nWorkshops\n\n\nLearnings and close\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nBe able to think critically about how creative\, participatory methods might be incorporated into their research and/ or teaching.\nHave broadened their understanding of research methods from tools of data collection to techniques for capacity building.\nHave workshopped four qualitative methods for creatively engaging with people (Photo Go-Alongs\, Collage\, Life Histories and Participant packs).\n\nThis online training workshop will take place over the course of 1 day on Wednesday 11th March 2026 between 10:00 and 16:00\, with 1 hour for lunch between 12:30 and 13:30. \nCost: \nThe fee per teaching day is: £60 per day for registered students. £150 per day for staff at academic institutions\, Research Councils researchers\, public sector staff\, staff at registered charity organisations and recognised research institutions. £350 per day for all other participants. \nIn the event of cancellation by the delegate a full refund of the course fee is available up to two weeks prior to the course. No refunds are available after this date. \nIf it is no longer possible to run a course due to circumstances beyond its control\, NCRM reserves the right to cancel the course at its sole discretion at any time prior to the event. In this event every effort will be made to reschedule the course. If this is not possible or the new date is inconvenient a full refund of the course fee will be given. NCRM shall not be liable for any costs\, losses or expenses that may be incurred as a result of the cancellation of a course. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:37th International Symposium on ALS / MND
DESCRIPTION:The International Symposium is the biggest annual conference dedicated to ALS and MND research. Each year we bring together researchers from around the world to share new understanding of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and motor neurone disease. \nThis year’s event will take place in Amsterdam\, the Netherlands on 9-11 December 2026. \nAbstract submission and registration are open. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe key to defeating MND lies in fostering strong collaboration between leading researchers around the world\, and sharing new understanding of the disease as rapidly as possible.
