To ensure we capitalise on diverse expertise, approaches and perspectives across the UK DRI, we have established cross-centre thematic networks that bring together researchers to address the major scientific questions that remain in these key topic areas for dementia. They also offer a fantastic opportunity to link up with other organisations who share similar research interests.
Each thematic network has a scientific and administrative lead, whose role is to unite researchers and promote collaboration through sharing of knowledge, ideas, resources, best practice and data. Several events take place throughout the year including strategic meetings, workshops and symposia. Early career researchers from the networks organise dedicated activities via steering groups, such as webinar and networking events.
