Description

You are invited to attend Connecting Neuroscience: Academia and Innovation – A Cambridge NeuroWorks half day workshop at Newnham College on Monday June 2nd, 2025. The workshop, hosted by Cambridge Neuroscience together with Cambridge Network, on behalf of Cambridge NeuroWorks will take place from 09:00-13:30 in the Lucia Windsor Room at Newnham College.

The agenda will comprise some exemplar talks from members of Cambridge Neuroscience (ie You!) thus showcasing the approaches and applications used across neurotechnology/the Brains and Machines theme. Furthermore, it will serve as an introduction to the 6 newly appointed fellows on the Cambridge NeuroWorks programme and help embed them in the Cambridge Neuroscience ecosystem. Each of them will deliver a 5-minute pitch. There will be plenty of time to network with fellows and delegates, to discuss ideas and potential collaborations across the morning. We will finish with an enjoyable sit-down lunch in the Hall at Newnham College.
