SUMMARY:Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) Summer School
DESCRIPTION:This unique\, three-day\, in-person PPIE Summer School is hosted by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Applied Research Collaborations South West Peninsula (PenARC). Furthermore\, co-designed and delivered by academics and public collaborators\, it offers a rare opportunity to explore the values that underpin Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE). \nThe course combines theory\, reflection\, and practical exploration in a supportive learning environment. Throughout the three immersive days\, you will move from foundational principles and power dynamics\, through creative and relational approaches to involvement\, to reflecting on leadership and culture in their own practice and the contexts in which they work. \nThe PPIE Summer School is designed for people undertaking or supporting health or care research from early career researchers to senior academics\, PPIE leads and facilitators. It is also relevant to those who are new to public involvement and would like to begin. \nThroughout the course\, you will be supported within a safe\, collaborative learning space that encourages shared learning\, openness and reflection. \nFees include all three days of teaching\, course materials\, daily lunch and refreshments; plus an evening meal and welcome drink on the first day \n\n\n\n\n\nIt was extremely inspiring and left me with lots of ideas about my PPIE/research work \n\nPrevious delegate \n\n\n\nWhy this course matters\nPPIE in research continues to gain importance in health and care research. In particular\, it gives people with experience of illnesses and service use the opportunity to add their knowledge to research. Moreover\, it also creates an ethos of equality where patients and members of the public work with researchers as partners – in ways that are ‘for’ or ‘with’ them\, rather than ‘to’ or ‘about’ them. \nFinally\, it is an important means by which people can have a say in publicly funded research and be given the opportunity to make decisions\, shape\, and learn more about research. \nThis course is an opportunity to explore beyond the numbers and the rhetoric of PPIE. We will examine innovative and honest ways of generating and spreading knowledge. We will also explore how to foster the uptake of this knowledge through partnerships with care sectors\, the public and communities – partnerships that reflect creativity and justice. \nWho is it for?\nThis unique interdisciplinary course is relevant to people undertaking health or care research\, including PhD students and those in PPIE co-ordinator/facilitator roles. Equally\, it is also relevant to people who are not currently involving members of the public in their work but would like to do so. Linking research and practice\, the course is tailored to those who are working across different disciplines in medicine\, health and social care\, and public health. \nIf you are seeking to strengthen partnerships\, deepen your understanding of PPIE values\, or embed creativity and justice within your work\, this course is for you. \nProgramme at a glance\nThroughout the three days\, participants will engage in small-group discussions\, creative exercises\, case-based learning and structured reflection\, supported by experienced facilitators. \n\nExplore the values and principles underpinning PPIE\nExamine creativity as a method and ethos in research partnerships\nReflect on justice\, equity and power in involvement practice\nEngage in practical\, skills-based activities\nShare learning across disciplines and roles\nUltimately\, develop new ideas to apply in your own research or organisational contexts\n\nDelivery format\nThe PPIE Summer School is a three-day\, in-person course held in Exeter. \nSpecifically\, the Summer School combines: \n\nInteractive workshops\nSmall group work\nReflective learning\nCreative and practice-based sessions\nOpportunities for shared discussion with academics and public collaborators\n\nThe emphasis\, therefore\, is on creating a safe\, supportive space for dialogue\, reflection and collaborative learning. \nSocial and networking opportunities\nWe are offering a couple of social activities alongside the main learning programme to give space to connect with fellow delegates and facilitators. \nDay 1: You are invited to join us for a welcome evening meal\, included as part of your registration. \nDay 2: Join a guided evening tour of Exeter’s oldest building\, St Nicholas Priory. You can sign up for this optional activity after registration. \nFacilitators\nThe PPIE Summer School is co-designed and delivered by a collaborative group with a variety of backgrounds and experiences. \n\nAcademics\nClinicians\nPublic collaborators\nFacilitators with expertise in creativity and participatory practice\nPlease see further speaker details below.\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Making Alzheimer’s Biomarkers More Accessible
DESCRIPTION:Join this 60-minute live webinar exploring practical advances in blood-based biomarker testing for Alzheimer’s disease (AD)\, with a focus on scalable and accessible quantitation of the optimal combination of biomarkers. \nDespite rapid growth in AD biomarker research\, it is not always clear which targets are the most meaningful and which measurement system best serves a given application. Quantitation methods range from highly specialized platforms requiring significant capital investment\, to simpler approaches with lower sensitivity. \nThis session will introduce a new cost-effective and sensitive (sub-pg/mL) biomarker detection platform and present findings on an AD 5-plex biomarker panel on well-characterized clinical samples. Preliminary data on an eMTBR-tau243 and BD pTau-217 duplex available for early-access will also be presented. \nThrough a structured webinar format combining expert presentation and moderated discussion\, participants will explore: \n\nConsiderations and tradeoffs for selecting biomarker quantitation methods\nDeep-dive into scalable ultrasensitive detection without capital equipment\nThe rational for targeted biomarker panels\, including why pTau-217\, Aβ42\, Aβ40\, NfL\, and GFAP were selected.\nEvaluate targeted biomarker panel performance in well-characterized clinical samples\n\nDesigned to support scientific exchange and practical understanding\, this session will provide a first look at evolving data and its potential implications for research and clinical workflows. \nFaculty \nChair: Marissa Lee\, PhD\, Director of Applications\, Taudia\nSpeaker: Noah Elder\, Director of R&D\, Taudia \nThis webinar is delivered in collaboration with Taudia. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Synergy for Science 2026
DESCRIPTION:Throughout history\, scientific endeavours have traditionally been compartmentalized into disciplines\, where like-minded researchers converge to address specific problems from a shared perspective. This approach has undeniably facilitated focused research\, hastened the pace of discoveries and contributed to the major breakthroughs of the last century. However\, an unintended consequence of this specialization has been the development of specialized languages and a sense of belonging within these disciplinary communities\, ultimately fostering impermeable knowledge silos across the entire scientific landscape.  \nWhile the establishment of disciplinary boundaries has played a crucial role in shaping our modern society\, there is now a recognized imperative to transcend these boundaries and confront the substantial challenges facing our globalized world. The emergence of interdisciplinary science represents a departure from the norm\, driven by courageous scientists eager to construct cultural bridges between disparate communities. Pioneers of interdisciplinary science have achieved remarkable results\, powered by their unique perspectives. However\, while the intersection at the heart of interdisciplinary science is inherently dynamic\, signifying its vitality\, the downside lies in its relatively modest scale. When extracted from their original environments\, interdisciplinary communities frequently struggle to attain the critical mass necessary for a lasting impact on our evolving society. \nSynSci26 will mark the inaugural conference set to take place in Glasgow in July 2026. With the subtitle “Meeting for a Healthier Future\,” this event aims to bring together diverse communities to collectively address the mandate of the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) outlined by the United Nations. By emphasizing collaboration and innovative approaches\, SynSci26 seeks to contribute meaningfully to the pursuit of a healthier\, more sustainable future. We invite scientists\, researchers\, and thought leaders from various disciplines to be part of this historic occasion\, breaking down barriers and shaping a brighter\, healthier world through interdisciplinary science. Together\, let us pave the way for future SynSci conferences that continue to make significant strides in addressing global challenges. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Queer Minds Matter: Dementia\, Identity\, and the Politics of Being Seen
DESCRIPTION:How well does dementia research reflect the experiences of LGBTQ+ communities. And what happens when people living with dementia are excluded from the conversations that shape research\, policy\, and care. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dáithí Clayton will chat with Dr Claudio Di Lorito\, Senior Research Fellow\, Primary Care and Population Health\, University College London & NIHR Research Support Service (RSS) Advisor and EDI Lead\, King’s College Hub. Together they will explore the current state of queer dementia research\, with a particular focus on the experiences of trans and nonbinary people living with dementia. Drawing on both research and lived experience\, they will reflect on how identity\, visibility\, and inclusion shape the realities of dementia care and support. \nThe session will examine progress made within the field\, highlight ongoing gaps in knowledge and practice\, and consider how researchers\, practitioners\, and policy makers can better address the needs of LGBTQ+ communities affected by dementia. \nDáithí is a dementia researcher\, advocate\, and educator based in Belgium. Their work focuses on queer dementia research\, challenging inequities in care and representation while amplifying the voices and experiences of people who have often been overlooked within dementia research and practice. \nAttendees can expect a thought provoking and discussion led session with time for questions and conversation. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:INS 2026 - Mid-Year Meeting
DESCRIPTION:In a global context of challenges and threats to equality\, diversity\, and inclusion\, that affects access to healthcare\, research\, and clinical practice\, neuropsychology needs to play an active role in raising awareness of its current and potential contributions to approach these global challenges. Advances in diagnostics\, assessments\, and interventions\, pushed by the latest technological developments and the use of artificial intelligence\, have huge potential but progress must be inclusive and relevant to real-world needs. If we are aiming for a neuropsychology without limits\, science needs to dialogue with real people and acknowledge the diverse challenges that they face. \nThis meeting\, hosted by the International Neuropsychological Society\, the Psychological Society of Ireland – Division of Neuropsychology\, and the British Psychological Society – Division of Neuropsychology\, will welcome contributions from across the globe that target the traditional topics related to diagnosis\, assessment and rehabilitation of different populations (clinical and non-clinical) across the lifespan\, with an emphasis on the challenges posed by technologies\, on how neuropsychology can overcome inequalities and be truly inclusive from a gender\, race\, background and culture perspective. \nHere in Dublin\, we give you a Céad Míle Fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes) to be part of a meeting that aims to look to the future of neuropsychology with fully open\, diverse\, and inclusive eyes. \nRegistration for the INS 2026 Mid Year Meeting\, which will be held at Trinity Business School in Dublin\, from the 22nd-24th July 2026 is now open! \nFull attendee registration includes: \n\nAccess to the conference sessions for 3 days\nAccess to the exhibition & posters\n1 ticket to the Welcome Reception\nTea & coffee\nComplimentary Wi-Fi\nLunch is not included in the registration fee\, the various options to purchase lunch will be made available\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:WHO Guidelines: Reducing Dementia Risk
DESCRIPTION:Co-hosted with the World Health Organization (WHO) join Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) for a special webinar to mark the release of the WHO’s updated dementia risk reduction guidelines. \nIn May 2017\, WHO Member States endorsed the Global action plan on the public health response to dementia\, committing to comprehensive\, multisectoral action on dementia\, including a dedicated focus on dementia risk reduction. \nIn the absence of a cure\, and access to disease modifying treatment being limited globally\, reducing dementia risk is a critical public health priority and an accessible strategy for many health authorities around the world. This is particularly pertinent given recent research suggesting that as many as 45% of dementias could be delayed or prevented. \nIn 2019\, WHO issued evidence-based guidelines on risk reduction in line with evidence that modifiable risk factors through life course interventions can delay or reduce cognitive decline and dementia. Since their publication\, the scientific evidence base has expanded\, including multidomain interventions\, population-level policies and additional risk factors. In light of strengthening evidence\, WHO developed updated dementia risk reduction guidelines. \nThis webinar will focus on the role that national associations and other stakeholders can play in the implementation of the guidelines and thereby aims to strengthen dementia risk reduction efforts globally\, accelerate implementation of the global action plan—particularly in low and middle-income countries – and promote integration with broader public health\, NCD and healthy ageing agendas. \nHosted by Acting CEO Chris Lynch\, the webinar will welcome ADI member associations and WHO representatives to reflect on the updated guidelines\, followed by a Q&A discussion. \nWe are pleased to offer AI translation for this webinar in 60+ languages. The webinar will be available for viewing on ADI’s YouTube channel after the event. \n\nRegister

This workshop is part of the capacity-building endeavours under the ‘Research Capacity Strengthening’ work package of the Centre. \nGrant writing is an essential skill for clinician-scientists and public health researchers who want to turn important yet unanswered research questions into funded projects. It is also important to build collaborations and sustain research activities to address priority clinical and public health research questions. In a milieu of intense competition for limited research funding\, the following skills are crucial for clinicians and public health researchers: \n\n\n\n\n(a) frame a clear clinical or public health problem;\n(b) propose a rigorous and feasible methodology/approach;\n(c) articulate clear and precise outcomes and impact and\n(d) convincingly communicate all these within the word- or page-limit is essential. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the workshop\n\n\n\n\nThis 5-day in-person workshop on grant writing will not only equip participants with the aforementioned skills but also provide an opportunity to seek guidance on their proposals from seasoned researchers with a track record of securing funding from national and international donors\, as well as to interact with grantors and grantees. The workshop will comprise a mix of short lectures\, practical exercises\, small-group work\, one-on-one mentoring sessions\, and panel discussions with funders and grant recipients. Participants will also have dedicated time to work on their proposal and receive feedback. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should apply?\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is designed for early- and mid-career clinician-scientists and public health researchers based in India who are interested in applying for grants to national or international funding agencies within the next 6-12 months. We particularly welcome applications from those who have not been successful in securing research funding in the past. We welcome applicants from diverse clinical and public health domains (non-communicable diseases\, multiple long-term conditions\, mental health\, digital health\, implementation science\, maternal and child health\, health systems\, environmental health\, etc.). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey learnings & Outcomes\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to \n\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the grant funding landscape for clinical and public health research in India and globally\nDevelop a clear problem statement\nDraft compelling\, specific aims/objectives\nDesign robust methods and implementation plans\nPrepare realistic budgets and work plans\nAddress ethics\, equity\, and community engagement\nReceive individualised feedback on their draft proposal from experienced mentors\n\n\n\n\n\nDevelop a near-ready concept note or mini-proposal for a future grant call \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuration of the workshop\n\n\n\n\n5 days (August 17-21\, 2026) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFee to attend the workshop:\n\n\n\n\nThe workshop is free of cost to attend for all participants. A limited number of bursaries are available to support travel to and/or stay in Kochi. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to apply?\n\n\n\n\nInterested candidates should apply through this link before 5.00 PM on June 25\, 2026.
