SUMMARY:BSG Annual Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the British Society of Gerontology 54th Annual Conference\, 25-27 June 2025\, University of Surrey\, Guildford\, UK. \nThe British Society of Gerontology Annual Conference attracts around 400 delegates from around the world\, comprising academics and others interested in a wide range of issues related to ageing. In 2025 the conference will be held at the University of Surrey\, Stag Hill campus. Whilst the University of Surrey has a long-history of research\, knowledge exchange and public engagement about ageing\, it now hosts the Centre of Excellence on Ageing\, established in 2023\, with its partner the Global Initiative on Ageing Foundation (GIA) under the auspices of the United Nations (UN). This multi and inter-disciplinary centre brings together over 60 fellows at the university whose work addresses a wide range of ageing related topics and issues. \nThe conference theme this year will be ‘Care\, Creativity\, Connection and Change’. We hope this will inspire debate and discussion on the interrelationship between these different\, but connected\, areas of ageing and social gerontology. To help explore our theme our confirmed keynote speakers are Professor Helen Manchester (University of Bristol)\, Professor Julienne Meyer (City University) and Dr Jo-Pei Tan (Manchester Metropolitan University). Building on the strengths of recent BSG conferences\, the University of Surrey Conference will include keynote addresses\, flagship symposia\, opportunities to engage with the BSG Special Interests Groups (SIGs) and several\, themed special events.  \nThe University of Surrey is based in Guildford\, in the heart of the Surrey Hills National Landscape\, an area of importance and status akin to a national park. Accommodation will be available on the University’s Manor Park campus and there are a range of hotels and guest houses locally for those who prefer to stay off-site. The conference dinner will take place on campus on the Thursday evening. The town of Guildford has excellent transport links for national and international travellers – London Waterloo is 40 mins by train and Heathrow and Gatwick airports are within easy reach via public transport. \nIn addition to the main conference\, the Emerging Researchers in Ageing (ERA) pre-conference session on 23rd  and 24th June 2025\, will give early career researchers (ECRs) the opportunity to present their research\, engage in workshops\, and network with other ECRs. It welcomes presentations on ageing-related topics from early career researchers at all stages. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the University of Surrey in June 2025! \nRegister to Attend \n\nKey Deadlines & Dates\n\n13th November 2024 – Abstract Submission Opened\n\n\n17th January 2025 – Symposium Submission Deadline\n\n\n24th January 2025 – Abstract Submission Deadline\n\n\n31st March 2025 – Abstract Notifications\n\n\n25th April 2025 – Early Bird Registration Deadline\n\n\n1st May 2025 – Registration Deadline\n\n\n\n25th-27th June 2025 –  British Society of Gerontology 54nd Annual Conference\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract Submission\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to announce that the Abstract submissions portal for the 54th Annual Conference of the British Society of Gerontology hosted by the University of Surrey from 25th – 27th June 2025 is NOW LIVE . \nAbstract Submission Deadline: Friday 24th January 2025 \nPlease use the following link to submit an abstract through Oxford Abstracts. \nImportant: please read the information below before submitting an abstract  \nThe conference in 2025 is being organised as an ‘in person’ event at the University of Surrey.

SUMMARY:Introduction to COSMIC
DESCRIPTION:🌍 Discover how COSMIC unites global cohort studies to uncover risk factors for dementia. Join this session on harmonised data\, SCD\, and global collaboration in research. \nCohort Studies of Memory in an International Consortium\, or COSMIC\, is an international consortium that combines data from population-based longitudinal cohorts studies to identify common risk factors for dementia and cognitive decline. It is an Australian-led collaboration by the Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) at UNSW Sydney\, Australia\, and is funded by the National Institutes of Health\, USA. There are currently 59 member studies from 39 countries from six continents. COSMIC facilitates a better understanding of the determinants of cognitive ageing and neurocognitive disorders. This is being achieved by: harmonising shared\, non-identifiable data from cohort studies that longitudinally examine change in cognitive function and the development of dementia in older individuals (60+ years)\, and performing mega- or meta-analyses using combined\, harmonised data sets that yield collated results with enhanced statistical power\, in addition to comparisons across diverse ethno-regional groups. \nThis presentation will highlight the current activities of COSMIC and directions for the future\, including an appeal for greater involvement in COSMIC projects to expedite discovery and global equity to dementia research. A practical guide to conducting a COSMIC study will be provided\, using a multi-country investigation into the prevalence of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) as a case example. The key steps involved from proposal to cohort selection and data harmonisation to analytical strategy and interpretation will be outlined\, highlighting both the benefits and challenges of working with large-scale data across culturally and ethnically diverse populations. Attendees will gain insight into the collaborative processes\, methodological considerations\, and key findings that demonstrate the value of harmonised\, cross-national approaches in global cognitive ageing research. \nRegister to Attend \n\nSpeakers\nPerminder Sachdev\nPerminder Sachdev AM MBBS MD FRANZCP PhD FAHMS is Scientia Professor of Neuropsychiatry\, Co-Director of CHeBA\, UNSW Sydney\, Clinical Director of the Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI) at the Prince of Wales Hospital\, Sydney\, and Director of the Centre of Research Excellence in Vascular Contributions to Dementia.

These sessions combine livestreams\, guest speakers\, and group online chat to exchange ideas\, challenge\, influence\, inspire\, and educate. In this session\, we hear from Sara Erzsebet Zsadanyi & Wasiu Balogun exploring how to craft a great conference abstract. \nA great conference abstract is more than a summary—it’s your first chance to get noticed. In dementia research\, where competition for attention is high and word counts are tight\, every sentence matters. But how do you distil your work into something concise\, compelling\, and clear? How do you convince reviewers—and attendees—that your research deserves a place on the stage? Today\, we’ll break down the craft of writing a standout abstract\, exploring how to communicate significance\, spark interest\, and open the door to new opportunities. \nSpeakers\n\nSara Zsadanyi is a PhD Student in the Sant Pau Memory Unit – Neuroimaging Core and Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. Originally from New Zealand she moved to Barcelona\, Spain to undertake her PhD. Her research is focused on neuroimaging of small vessel disease in Down Syndrome and autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease. \nDr Wasiu Balogun is a Postdoctoral Associate at University of Pittsburgh. Originally from from Nigeria\, he completed his PhD in Malaysia\, and is currently working in the Karikari fluid biomarker lab\, developing and testing potential biomarkers in human fluids. His motto is work hard and play more. \nProgramme\nThe format of the event is a 30 minute livestream where the speakers will each present their thoughts on this topic for 10 minutes each\, the host will then ask questions and the livestream will end. The speakers will then join the online chat and interact with the audience\, answering questions and giving those who attended a chance to share their thoughts on the topic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAvailable to join exclusivley in Dementia Researcher Communities – Online or in the App\n\nWatch the Recording

SUMMARY:Catchup - Salon - Navigating Academic Promotions
DESCRIPTION:A weekly webinar to discuss careers and research topics. These sessions combine livestreams\, guest speakers\, and group online chat to exchange ideas\, challenge\, influence\, inspire\, and educate. In this session we hear from Dr Adejoke Elizabeth Memudu\, Edo State University Uzairue and Dr Warren Donnellan from University of Liverpool discussing the challenge of navigating and getting an academic promotion. \nIf you are interested in this topic\, we’re looking for someone to guest host – drop us a line to dementiaresearcher@ucl.ac.uk \nAcademic promotions can feel like a maze—complex\, opaque\, and sometimes intimidating. For dementia researchers juggling teaching\, publishing\, funding\, and impact\, the path to progression isn’t always clear.

SUMMARY:CCPBioSim Conference: Frontiers in Biomolecular Simulations
DESCRIPTION:This year’s CCPBioSim annual conference has the theme of exploring the cutting edge of biomolecular simulations and associated methods\, and their real-world impacts. Biomolecular modelling has an ever increasing role in the creation of new therapies\, including antibodies and peptides. Simulation is also widely used to help interpret experimental data and features in many structural biology pipelines. \nMachine learning and artificial intelligence are having an ever-increasing impact\, analysing simulation data\, improving the accuracy of intermolecular potentials\, and designing novel biomolecules\, often with the aid of physics-based approaches. This conference will showcase the latest advances in these broad areas\, and how they are impacting industry and academia. \nWe invite abstracts for posters and talks in the area of cutting-edge biomolecular simulation and modelling. Topics of interest include: \n\nNew methods: What new approaches have enabled faster or more accurate or larger-scale simulations of biomolecular systems?\nPushing the envelope: Where have larger or longer simulations delivered new biological insights?\nArtificial intelligence: How is the combination of machine learning and artificial intelligence with biomolecular simulation advancing our knowledge of biological systems?\nExperimental interpretation and design: How can we best combine biomolecular simulation and experiment to deliver new biological understanding?\n\nWe look forward to seeing you all in Southampton! \nConfirmed Speakers\nMichael Shirts – University of Colorado Boulder\nMax Bonomi – Institut Pasteur\nHannah Bruce Macdonald – CHARM Therapeutics\nTomek Wlodarski – Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics\, Warsaw\nSyma Khalid – University of Oxford\nKush Coshic – Max Planck Institute \nProgramme\nTBC \nRegistration\nRegistration is now open for CCPBiosim 2025! \nEarly Bird Registration Deadline: 19/05/25\nFinal Registration Deadline: 23/06/25 \nStudent Prices (Early Bird/Late): £120/£140\nNon-Student Prices (Early Bird/Late): £140/£160 \nRegistration includes talks\, poster sessions\, lunch and coffee breaks on all three days and a conference dinner taking place on the evening of the 15th. \nTo register please follow this link to the University of Sheffield’s online store: link \nPlease indicate clearly any accessibility and allergen needs at the time of registration or via email (ccpbiosim2025@soton.ac.uk). \nVenue\nThe conference will be taking place on Highfield Campus at The University of Southampton – talks will be held in the Building 2A lecture theatre / Posters\, lunch\, snacks\, drinks\, dinner to be hosted in the ‘Garden Court’ \nContributed Oral or Poster Presentations\nDeadlines for Abstract Submission: \nContributed Oral: 02/06/25\nPoster: 23/06/25 \nPlease complete this template and upload in the form  – https://ccpbiosim.ac.uk/soton2025 \nOrganising Committee\nProf. Jonathan Essex\, Southampton University\nDr. William Poole\, Southampton University\nProf. Aditi Borkar\, Nottingham University\nDr. Agnieszka Bronowska\, Newcastle University\nDr. Daniel Cole\, Newcastle University\nProf. Warispreet Singh\, Northumbria University\nDr. Sofia Oliveira\, Bristol University\nDr. James Gebbie-Rayet\, Daresbury Laboratory @ STFC\nDr. Shivani Harshe\, Sheffield University \nContact\nccpbiosim2025@soton.ac.uk \n\nAbout CCPBioSim\nCCPBioSim is an inclusive wide-ranging project\, bringing together chemists\, physicists and chemical engineers as well as researchers from all branches of ‘molecule-oriented’ biochemistry and biology. Our aim is to involve experimentalists and computational specialists\, sharing the belief that the best science can be done when theory and experiment are closely integrated.

SUMMARY:Catchup - Salon - Working with Difficult People: Strategies for Academic Settings
DESCRIPTION:A weekly webinar to discuss careers and research topics. These sessions combine livestreams\, guest speakers\, and group online chat to exchange ideas\, challenge\, influence\, inspire\, and educate. In this session we hear from Dr Claire Price from Swansea University and Dr Anna Mallach from Imperial College London and this week it’s all about Colleagues\, Conflict and Communication – Working with Difficult People: Strategies for Academic Settings.\n \nIn research\, collaboration is essential\, but let’s face it\, not every working relationship is easy. Personalities can clash\, communication can break down\, and tension can quietly derail progress. Whether it’s a co-author who won’t respond\, a supervisor who micromanages\, or a colleague who undermines your ideas\, difficult dynamics are part of the job. But how do you handle them without burning bridges or losing momentum? Today\, we’ll explore practical strategies for navigating challenging relationships in academic settings—so you can protect your work\, your wellbeing\, and your professional growth. \nSpeakers\n\nDr Anna Mallach – holds a BSc in Neuroscience from King’s College London and a MRes in Experimental Neuroscience from Imperial College London. During her BBSRC-funded PhD at UCL\, Anna worked with Jennifer Pocock\, Selina Wray and Thomas Piers to study microglia – neuron interactions using induced pluripotent stem cells. Her postdoctoral research focussed on applying spatial transcriptomics to resolve the cellular responses to Alzheimer’s disease pathology to study dysfunctional cell-cell interactions working with Lorena Arancibia and Bart De Strooper. She is now in the UK Dementia Research Institute at Imperial College London\, leading her own lab. \nDr Claire Price obtained her BSc (hons) degree in Physiology at Cardiff University. She then spent time as a technician in an analytical and environmental chemistry laboratory before completing a PhD at Swansea University in biochemistry (studying alkane and fatty acid hydroxylating cytochromes P450 in Candida albicans). Claire’s research focusses on antifungal resistance in both humans and plants\, but she also has interests in using microorganisms for novel biotechnological uses. Claire is passionate about outreach and science communication. She is the founder of Merthyr Science Festival and won the Royal Society of Biology Outreach and Engagement Award for an Established Researcher in 2020. \nProgramme\nThe format of the event is a 30 minute livestream where the speakers will each present their thoughts on this topic for 10 minutes each\, the host will then ask questions and the livestream will end. The speakers will then join the online chat and interact with the audience\, answering questions and giving those who attended a chance to share their thoughts on the topic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAvailable to join exclusivley in Dementia Researcher Communities – Online or in the App\n\nWatch the Recording
