Making it Brain: A Neuroscience Research and Career Mini-Conference for Students

External Event - 13th to 14th Sep 2023

Following our successful "Making it Brain" web event last year, the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is delighted to host our third research and careers mini-conference for late-stage (16+) secondary school students!

This is a brilliant opportunity to learn more about the career of an academic scientist or clinician and their fascinating research into the workings of the brain. We’ll be showcasing diverse topics from across our Institute - from cells to circuits, systems to patients!

You’ll have the chance to hear from leading researchers about their motivations and the journeys that led them into the field of neuroscience and neurodegenerative disease, followed by a live Q&A.

We’ll also be taking you behind the scenes of a working laboratory in a series of videos to experience the range of techniques we use to investigate the brain and its unique characteristics.

The mini-conference will be held virtually and is completely FREE for attendees - register today! Although aimed at those in the later stages of secondary school (16-18), students of any age can attend including undergraduates.

Here's what a previous attendee had to say about the conference: 
"I thought the conference was fantastic and the best education I have had regarding dementia research. The talks and lab tours were really inspiring, and I am now even more interested in studying these topics at degree level!"

13 September 2023 – 14 September 2023
