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.

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Strengthening Family Connections Through Reminiscence
DESCRIPTION:How can families maintain meaningful connections with loved ones living with dementia after they move into a care home. And how can reminiscence help make visits more engaging and rewarding for everyone involved. \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\, Connor McDonald will present findings from his PhD\, a collaborative Action Research study exploring family-centred reminiscence during care home visits for people living with dementia. Working alongside family members\, the project co-developed a new approach to using reminiscence as a way of strengthening and preserving relationships. \nThe session will explore how collaboration with families shaped the intervention\, what was learned through the co-design process\, and how reminiscence can support meaningful interaction and connection within care home settings. \nConnor is an early career researcher at the University of the West of Scotland whose research focuses on dementia care\, family involvement\, and collaborative approaches to improving the experiences of people living with dementia and those closest to them. \nAttendees can expect a thought provoking and discussion-led session with time for questions and conversation. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Genetic Determinants of Cognitive Heterogeneity in Parkinson’s Disease
DESCRIPTION:Why do some people with Parkinson’s disease develop dementia while others do not. And how do genetic differences influence cognitive outcomes across the disease. \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\, Dr Esra Demir Unal will present her research exploring the genetic factors that contribute to cognitive heterogeneity in Parkinson’s disease. Her work investigates how rare monogenic variants\, polygenic risk\, and genetic loci associated with Alzheimer’s disease influence susceptibility to dementia and cognitive decline. \nBy combining insights from monogenic Parkinson’s disease with broader genetic risk profiles\, the research aims to improve understanding of why cognitive outcomes vary between individuals and identify pathways that may support earlier prediction and more personalised approaches to care. \nEsra is an Assistant Professor at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University\, specialising in neurogenetics and neurodegenerative disease. Her research focuses on the genetic architecture of dementia and Parkinson’s disease\, with an emphasis on understanding the biological mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Investigating White Matter Hyperintensities in People at Risk of Alzheimer's
DESCRIPTION:What can white matter hyperintensities tell us about Alzheimer’s disease risk. And could these changes in the brain help explain why some people are more vulnerable to cognitive decline than others. \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\, Cameron Heyman will present a high-level summary of his PhD research investigating white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in people at increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease dementia. The talk will explore the cognitive impacts of WMHs\, the factors associated with their development\, and what they may reveal about the earliest stages of dementia risk. \nDrawing together findings from his doctoral research\, Cameron will discuss how understanding WMHs may improve our knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease progression and help identify opportunities for earlier detection and intervention. \nCameron is a PhD student at the University of Auckland whose research focuses on the cognitive impacts and risk factors of white matter hyperintensities in people at increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease dementia. \nAttendees can expect a research-focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister
