SUMMARY:OPTIMISE-ing informed consent
DESCRIPTION:Informed consent is a fundamental principle of ethical research. People with conditions that affect their ability to communicate and/or make decisions may require additional support to decide whether to take part in a study and provide consent. However\, informed consent processes in clinical trials are often not designed to take account of additional communication and/or decision-making needs. This can lead to people being unfairly excluded from trials or\, for some\, it may mean that they are deemed to lack capacity to consent and an alternative person is involved on their behalf. \nWith more accessible information and the right support in place\, people with communication and/or decision-making needs will be better able to make\, or contribute to\, decisions about participating in research. This protects their right to make their own decisions\, and ensures their views are heard. \nOPTIMISE project \nIn conjunction with a group of researchers and a lay advisory group\, the OPTIMISE project is developing recommendations to improve the design of informed consent methods in clinical trials to ensure they are equitable and accessible for people with additional communication and/or decision-making needs. \nThis will be achieved through: \n1. Reviewing existing evidence about enhanced consent processes\n2. Expert stakeholder consultation to develop a set of recommendations\n3. Mapping existing resources (including from CONSULT) onto the recommendations\n4. Developing a toolkit to help researchers and others use the recommendations \nJoin us for the OPTIMISE launch webinar \nWe will be launching the OPTIMISE recommendations at a webinar in December 2025. At this webinar\, we will discuss why inclusive consent matters\, introduce the OPTIMISE recommendations and supporting resources\, and outline how they can help researchers address challenges in recruitment and consent. \nThis will be followed by a live Q&A with our expert panel on the theme: “What are the key challenges in designing inclusive consent processes\, and how can we address them?” Attendees are invited to submit questions ahead of the webinar or during the event. \nEveryone is welcome to attend. The event might be of particular interest to researchers who design and conduct research involving populations with communication and decision-making needs\, anyone interested in how we can deliver more inclusive research\, and those with a role in reviewing or supporting research including REC members\, funders\, and public involvement contributors. \nDate: 1st December 2025\nTime: 2-3pm\nRegistration: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/cardiff/optimise-webinar-registration​ \nTo submit questions or for more information please contact: Dr Victoria Shepherd ShepherdVL1@cardiff.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Catchup - Debate - Is capping hours a cure or a constraint for research burnout?
DESCRIPTION:Should research working hours be capped to reduce burnout? Join Dr Vanessa De la Cruz and Dr Wasiu Balgun for a live debate on 3rd December at 8.00 pm GMT. Watch\, ask questions\, and cast your vote. \n\nDebate Motion: \nThis House would cap the number of hours researchers can work each week to reduce burnout.\n\nBurnout is a growing concern in academic research\, affecting wellbeing\, productivity\, and retention. Proposals to cap working hours aim to address these issues directly\, but could mandatory limits restrict flexibility and individual autonomy? This debate explores whether structured caps are a viable solution\, or if alternative approaches are better suited to supporting researchers’ wellbeing. \n\nSpeaker For the Motion:\nDr Vanessa De la Cruz-Góngora is a GBHI Fellow and researcher focused on nutrition in population at the National Institute of Public Health in Mexico. She is Professor of “Nutrition and Aging” course in the Master and Doctorate on Sciences in Nutrition program of the School of Public Health of Mexico. Her research interests on nutrition in population\, focuses on the epidemiology of micronutrient deficiencies and anemia; iron absorption and metabolism; nutrition and aging; nutrition and cognitive function in older adults; and the burden of chronic disease in populations (diabetes and stroke). \nSpeaker Against the Motion:\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. \n\nWhat to Expect\nJoin us for a live online debate where our speakers will present opposing views on the continued relevance of animal models in dementia research. The session will include: \n\n10-minute opening statements from each speaker\nModerated discussion\nAudience Q&A\nLive vote before and after the debate to see if opinions shift\n\nJoin us to consider how we balance ambition\, productivity\, and wellbeing in academic life\, and whether formal change is necessary to reduce burnout\, or if other solutions lie ahead. \n\n\nWatch the Recording

SUMMARY:International Symposium on ALS / MND
DESCRIPTION:The International Symposium on ALS/MND is a unique annual event that brings together leading international researchers and health and social care professionals to present and debate key innovations in their respective fields. The Symposium is planned as two parallel meetings\, one on biomedical research and the other on advances in clinical research and treatment of people affected by ALS/MND. Joint sessions consider issues of mutual interest\, challenging current views and practices. \nAbout the Symposium \nThe International Symposium encompasses innovation\, education and collaboration\, as researchers and healthcare professionals come together to update colleagues from across the world on the latest developments in the diagnosis\, treatment and management of ALS/MND. This meeting allows researchers to share the latest information on disease pathology\, clinical practice\, and potential therapeutic targets to a global audience. The Symposium also offers the unique opportunity for researchers to appreciate the reality of the disease from the perspective of the people living with MND\, medical practitioners and caregivers\, to feel part of the whole MND community. \nWhat’s on offer this year? \nThe Symposium Programme Committee\, chaired by Professor Ammar Al-Chalabi\, will consider a broad range of cutting-edge topics for this year’s programme. We will continue to showcase a mix between biomedical research and clinical science\, therapy development and clinical management\, through dedicated oral presentations and poster sessions (which have always been a Symposium highlight). We would encourage as many members of the ALS/MND research and clinical/care communities to join us in-person\, but to remain inclusive to those unable to travel (particularly people living with ALS/MND)\, we are once again offering a virtual option. The virtual option will consist of a selection of live-streamed sessions\, and access to all session recordings post-event (until early March\, 2026). \nWe look forward to welcoming you \nWe hope the Symposium will once again motivate you to make a difference in the work you do for people living with ALS/MND. Last year’s closing session showcased how the latest advancements in technology could help to improve quality of life for people with ALS/MND. The BrainGate Consortium Team was presented with the International Healey Award for Innovation in ALS for their work on Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology. The development of this technology offers the opportunity to restore communication\, mobility and independence in people living with ALS/MND. This research illustrates hope for the future and the impact research can have on the lives of people with ALS/MND. We hope that this year’s meeting will offer inspiration and the opportunity to stimulate new ideas\, partnerships and collaborations that will lead to further advances in ALS/MND. \nRegistration\nRegistration for in-person attendance will be available from 6 May and registration for those who wish to attend virtually (access the selected live and recorded content only) will be available from 6 September at www.symposium.mndassociation.org/register. A provisional Symposium programme will be available on our website in August. The final programme will be available in November. \nCall for abstracts\nAbstracts must be submitted online\, via a link on the MND Association’s Symposium website (https://www.symposium.mndassociation.org/abstracts). Abstracts cannot be accepted via email. \nAbstracts must be submitted by the presenting author of the abstract\, who must provide an email address to which all Symposium correspondence will be sent. The presenting author is the only person who will receive email correspondence from us. \nSubmissions are limited to two abstracts per presenting author. \nAuthors may submit an abstract for consideration in one of three categories: oral\, poster or work in progress/care practice (WIP/CP) poster presentations. WIP/CP is defined as: preliminary work (little or no data/results)\, care practice or case studies. \nImportant: Authors accepting the offer of an oral or poster presentation must attend the Symposium in-person in San Diego\, USA and be present for their assigned session. \nThe presenting author is not required to fully register for the Symposium before submitting an abstract. However\, formal acceptance of an abstract is conditional upon payment of the appropriate registration fee no later than 5 September 2025. Failure to pay the registration fee by this date will result in withdrawal of the abstract. \nAbstracts must be in English and be no longer than 450 words. The MND Association will not correct any errors\, so authors must ensure their abstract is checked for grammar\, understanding and accuracy. Authors should provide a clear description of methodology and present statistically robust data (including ‘n’ and ‘p’ values) where appropriate. \nAuthors must ensure they have the correct permissions to submit their abstract (e.g. from collaborators and funders). \nThe corresponding oral/poster presentation must discuss the same work as the accepted abstract. \nAbstracts will be published in an open access online supplement to the journal Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Degeneration. Abstracts accepted as ‘WIP/CP’ will be published on the MND Association’s Symposium website. \nAuthors will also be asked to confirm if the presenting author is eligible and willing to be included in the poster prize competition (see below). The deadline for withdrawing an abstract is 5 September. Abstracts withdrawn after this date will still be published in the journal supplement. \nFull instructions and Conditions of Acceptance will be available on the MND Association’s website before the opening of the submission system on 6 May 2025. These must be read before an abstract is submitted. Queries should be sent to abstracts@ mndassociation.org. \nAbstract submission system opens: 6 May 2025 \nDeadline for abstract submission: 10 July 2025 \nPoster prize\nThe International Symposium on ALS/MND poster prize celebrates early-stage career ALS/MND researchers’ outstanding work\, presented at the conference poster session. \nPrizes will be awarded for the best clinical and best biomedical posters presented at the conference. \nEarly career researchers are eligible to enter if they are aged 35 years or under on the abstract submission deadline date OR if they were awarded their PhD within three years of the abstract submission deadline. \nThe initial stage of judging will be based on the abstracts\, as submitted by the abstract submission deadline of 10 July 2025. Final judging of shortlisted posters will take place at the conference. \nFull terms and conditions for the poster prize will be available on the MND Association’s website (https://www.symposium.mndassociation.org/for-presenters/poster-prize) following the opening of the abstract submission system in May 2025.
