Register now for our September 2019 "A Meeting Of The Minds Webinar", on Step Up For Dementia Research
- Wednesday September 25, 2019 (USA/CA/UK)
- Thursday September 26,, 2019 (AU/NZ/ASIA)
Please note: this is one event, set in a number of different time zones.
About the Webinar: There is no systematic way for people with dementia to get involved in research, and limited support is available to facilitate a broader public engagement in dementia research. Recruiting participants in dementia research is costly and time consuming. In partnership with University College London and University of Exeter, a team at the university of Sydney has been working to tackle the challenges in Australia through StepUp for Dementia Research. This presentation will focus on what this new initiative aims to deliver and how it will achieve its goal to improve recruitment efficiency and public engagement in dementia research. The session will conclude with Q&A, and time permitting the participants will be given opportunity to sign up in real time.
