SUMMARY:Research Methods Rendezvous
DESCRIPTION:The Research Methods Rendezvous (RMR) is a unique opportunity to explore puzzles\, ideas and questions\, and begin to transform them into research that is important\, feasible and impactful. \nThe RMR is a free\, innovative\, online initiative designed to be a source of inspiration\, a research incubator and a networking opportunity. Based on two half-day intensive sessions in autumn 2025\, the RMR explores two parts of the research process: \n\nI wonder: the curiosity that sparks our research (10 September)\nHow can we: the process of shaping those sparks into tangible projects (29 October)\n\nBetween the sessions\, a seven-week collaboration period enables participants to co-shape the development of ideas. Applications to participate are open until Wednesday\, 2 July 2025. \nRead more about the event below or download a PDF of the full call for participation. \nStructure of the rendezvous\nRendezvous One: I wonder…\n10 September 2025 \nRendezvous One concerns ideation\, the ideas we have as we start to generate our research projects. These come from unfinished questions\, empirical observations\, theoretical intrigues or methodological curiosities. Attendees will get the chance to hear lightning talks from researchers outlining these early-stage ideas. \nView the programme for Rendezvous One \nThe researchers presenting their ideas were selected by NCRM following a contributor application process earlier in 2025. All speakers are active researchers sharing their own early-stage work. \nThe interregnum\n11 September to 28 October 2025 \nDuring this period\, the ideas from Rendezvous One will be developed into sessions for Rendezvous Two. Discussion boards will be hosted on the RMR online platform for each idea presented. \nParticipants will be invited to contribute thoughts\, resources and suggestions. With the contributor’s approval\, you may also have the opportunity to take a more active role\, potentially joining a team developing a Rendezvous Two session. \nRendezvous Two: how can we…\n29 October 2025 \nRendezvous Two concerns how we turn our wonderings into researchable questions. Through 80-minute parallel workshops\, contributors and participants will discuss or co-develop ideas\, exploring methods and next steps\, whether that be developing bid applications\, forming networks or submitting paper proposals. \nFormat for Rendezvous Two\nSessions will typically follow one of the formats below. However\, alternative format suggestions are welcomed. \n\nSpeakers’ corner: Where an individual presenter may want to outline the possibilities of how they can develop their research curiosity into something workable.\nOn the sofa with: Where a session has more than one presenter and aims to generate possibilities through discussion\, with space for audience participation or a Q and A at the end.\nKitchen table: Open to variation in format but a standard approach would be a talk by one or more people and then the chair opens a discussion.\nIn the studio: This can be more creative in design\, but may involve several participants who co-design an event (perhaps using creative methods) to get attendees to join in.\n\nAll sessions in Rendezvous Two will be 80 minutes in length. Sessions will be developed during the interregnum and will be listed on the programme page when details are confirmed. \nLogistics\nThis is a free\, online event. \nWe will be using Whova to host the rendezvous. This is a dedicated online event platform that allows for networking\, polls\, gamification and one-to-one meetings. The platform will be available to participants for the duration of the event (including during the interregnum). \nBoth Rendezvous One and Rendezvous Two will take place in the afternoon on their respective days. \nExpectations\nWe expect delegates to attend both sessions of the rendezvous and actively engage with the online discussions during the interregnum. \nHow to apply to participate\nTo apply for a place at the RMR\, please complete our online application form. \nComplete the RMR application form \nThe application deadline is Wednesday\, 2 July 2025. Attending the event is subject to a successful application. \nHow to contribute\nThe call for contributions is now closed and the speaker line-up has been confirmed. The application deadline was 4 March 2025. \nFurther information\nFor further information\, please contact Sandra Gogacz: sandra.gogacz@manchester.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Catchup - Salon - Starting Your First Research Lab
DESCRIPTION:This Salon webinar brings together Dr Ian Harrison from UCL and Dr Rosie Jackson from the University of Dundee to discuss the key steps\, challenges\, and lessons learned in setting up a first independent research lab. \nStarting your first research lab is both exciting and overwhelming. After years of training\, you finally have the chance to lead your own group\, set your own direction\, and bring your vision to life. But where do you begin? How do you recruit a team\, manage a budget\, build a culture\, and still find time to think\, write\, and apply for funding? Today\, we will explore what it really means to take that first step into independence—and hear from researchers who have done it\, learned from it\, and are still finding their way. \nSpeakers\n\nDr Ian Harrison is a Senior Research Fellow at University College London. During the pandemic Ian established his own lab\, looks at the function of the glymphatic system in the brain\, responsible for the clearance of protein solutes from the brain parenchyma. With Fellowship funding from not one\, but two charities\, he has forged a path to independence and is happy to talk about his learning\, experiences and share his tips. \nDr Rosie Jackson is a Principal Investigator at University of Dundee\, researching synaptic pathology in health and disease. Rosemary’s interests are highly interdisciplinary\, involving collaboration with local and international colleagues in psychology\, neuropathology\, neuroimaging\, and genetics. She has dozen’s of publications and is a contributor to reviewing many more papers. \nProgramme\nThe format of the event is a 60 minute livestream where the speakers will each present their thoughts on this topic for 10-15 minutes each\, the host and audience are then invited to ask question\, or join the livestream with their own contributions 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: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.

SUMMARY:Fostering inclusion: strategies to transform academic work cultures
DESCRIPTION:Fostering a culture of belonging is key to creating inclusive and supportive academic workplaces where all researchers can thrive. Yet building such a culture requires more than good intentions — it demands concrete\, sustained efforts at both structural and interpersonal levels. \nThis workshop will spotlight real-world initiatives that have successfully improved workplace climate across organisations. From mentoring and inclusive leadership to flexible working policies\, participants will explore a wide range of strategies that promote equity\, transparency\, and wellbeing in their lab\, society\, department etc. \nThrough practical examples\, lived experience\, and interactive breakout sessions\, attendees will gain actionable tools they can adapt to their own institutional contexts. Particular emphasis will be placed on cost-effective\, scalable approaches that support cultural change across diverse settings. \nThis session is for anyone committed to turning the values of the ALBA Declaration on Equity and Inclusion into tangible improvements in academic work culture. \nRegister\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nProfessor Adrian Liston is an immunologist and professor of pathology at the University of Cambridge (UK) and equalities fellow at St Catharine’s College. He conducts research at the intersection of immunology and neuroscience\, and is prolific writer and workshop coordinator on the topics of navigating a science career and improving research culture. \nDr Ibukun Akinrinade is a postdoctoral researcher at the Bains lab in the Hotchkiss brain Institute (HBI)\, University of Calgary. Her research seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms of stress regulation and how social presence influences behavioural outcomes. She aims to understand how stressors and social support interact to impact an individual’s well-being. \nShe is also passionate about open science and inspiring/training the next generation of scientists. She has organized and participated in hands-on training workshops in Africa. She is a member of science communication hubs in Africa. \n\n\n\nFrom Declaration to action workshop series\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ALBA Declaration on Equity and Inclusion serves as a vital call to action within the neuroscience community\, yet feedback\, gathered through a survey sent to all Declaration organisational signatories\, indicates a pressing need to make these goals more accessible and actionable. To address this\, we are launching a three-part webinar series designed in a workshop format to provide practical guidance on implementing these principles in daily practices. Each webinar will feature experts with hands-on experience in action items listed in the Declaration. More \n\n\nDeclaration action points covered\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is related to the Declaration action points listed below.
