Annual Conference 2020 & Early Career Researcher Workshop
SDRC Conference 2020: Unlocking the Mysteries of Data
The fifth annual Scottish Dementia Research Consortium (SDRC) conference will be held at the Radisson Blu in Glasgow on Monday 7th September 2020. We welcome members of the SDRC and everyone with an interest in dementia research.
This year’s SDRC Conference, titled “Unlocking the mysteries of data” will shed light on the world of informatics and how it is used and brain health research, from prevention, diagnosis, to helping to improve the lives of those currently living with dementia. We will also discuss public perceptions and fears of big data in research and provide some truth behind the headlines.
Throughout the day we will hear from PhD students and early career researchers from all disciplines who will present their current work and there will be dedicated sessions for you all to contribute to the day’s discussions and share your ideas.
