What do the SDRC do?
The purpose of the SDRC is to provide support for dementia research across Scotland. We do this by celebrating and championing the work already ongoing as well as nurturing growth. We also promote collaboration by encouraging researchers within and across institutions and disciplines to work together, and to help them gain a better understanding of each other’s work.
The following are some examples of what we do for our members:
- Organising events for researchers to learn from each other and network.
- Producing blogs featuring researchers who discuss their work and share experiences. We also have our own Twitter account (make sure to follow us!)
- Conducting our own research and produce publications which delve into the dementia and brain health research landscape in Scotland
- Support researchers, particularly early career researchers by providing personal and professional development opportunities.
How can I be a part of the SDRC?
The Scottish Dementia Research Consortium is the biggest network of brain health and dementia research in Scotland.
