Conference 2025
The SDRC Conference 2025 took place on 6-7 May in Edinburgh.
This two day event will celebrated a range of Scottish dementia research with the focus on busting research myths and challenging some of the taboos that still exist.
There were keynote talks from world-leading researchers and presentations from early career researchers and those with lived experience, from across Scotland and across disciplines.
There was also plenty of discussion and networking opportunities among the over 160 people in attendance.
We will uploading the videos from the Conference soon, see photos below.
