Cambridge Neuroscience Seminar 2022 - New HorizonsWhenSeptember 29th 2022WhereFitzwilliam College, CambridgeDescriptionWelcome Back! - Cambridge Neuroscience Seminar at Fitzwilliam CollegeCambridge Neuroscience is delighted to announce the 32nd Cambridge Neuroscience Seminar, 'New Horizons', which will be held in person at Fitzwilliam College in Cambridge. Neuroscience within Cambridge covers a wide array of topics, specialities, disciplines and techniques and it is spread across Departments and Schools. The strategic vision of the Cambridge Neuroscience IRC (Interdisciplinary Research Centre) is to deliver research innovation in neuroscience and enhance health and quality of life. Central to this vision is the aim to develop an integrated framework that will promote cutting-edge research in marrying discovery and translational neuroscience, celebrate our diverse and cross-disciplinary approach, bolster our integrative community and attract new funding and talent to develop into new horizons. In meeting this challenge, we have developed key new themes cutting across discovery and translational research to represent Cambridge Neuroscience and showcase the highly collaborative and integrative character of our research community. The themes aim to:
Following consultations across Schools and a series of interdisciplinary workshops, we have identified 6 interdisciplinary cross-cutting themes as follows:
Interdisciplinary programme at CNS 2022
All of these themes will be introduced at CNS2022 across 18 short talks - an overview of the theme will be given in the context of the research happening across Cambridge in addition to talks on the future directions and scope of each theme.
