Discover practical approaches to building effective interdisciplinary collaborations and advancing neuroscience research.
This interactive training session is designed to support researchers in developing effective interdisciplinary project teams to advance their research. With a thematic focus on memory as a case study, the session explores the wider value to neuroscientists of interdisciplinary working across methods, perspectives, and sectors.
Participants will examine both the opportunities and practical challenges of collaborating across disciplines, gaining tools and strategies to build sustainable, high-impact research partnerships. By the end of the session, participants will have developed practical insights and actionable approaches to forming, working in and leading interdisciplinary research collaborations.
Ticket fees include tea, coffee, refreshments and lunch during the day.

Professor Alex Easton is a cognitive neuroscientist whose research focuses on how context influences learning and memory. His work uses animal models to investigate the mechanisms underlying episodic memory and how factors such as reward outcomes and social context shape learning processes.
British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow
Andrea Blomkvist is a researcher at the University of Glasgow whose work explores memory, cognition and learning across different contexts. Her research examines how cognitive processes can be studied using diverse methodological approaches and how insights from multiple disciplines can be integrated to address complex research questions. She is particularly interested in fostering interdisciplinary collaboration within neuroscience.
Reader and Principle Investigator, Department of Psychology, Edge Hill University, UK
Dorothy Tse is a Professor of Neuroscience at Edge Hill University whose research focuses on the neural mechanisms of learning and memory. Her work investigates how memories are formed, stabilised and integrated within existing knowledge structures, combining behavioural neuroscience and experimental approaches. Tse is particularly interested in how prior knowledge shapes memory consolidation and has contributed to advancing our understanding of how memory systems support learning and cognition.
Leverhulme International Professor at the University of Stirling, Director of the Centre for the Sciences of Place and Memory
John Sutton is a Professor at the University of Stirling whose research focuses on memory, cognition and the philosophy of mind. His work often examines how memory and thinking are shaped by interactions between the brain, the body and the environment. Sutton has extensive experience working across disciplinary boundaries and is a strong advocate for interdisciplinary approaches in cognitive science and neuroscience.Please accept {{cookieConsents}} cookies to view this content
