Seminars
LINC seminars focus on a different theme each month. In our first year, we will hear from each theme on their existing research strengths, current projects, and opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. We welcome researchers, clinicians and healthcare professionals from across the breadth of the Centre. Please join us. Lunch is provided 12.00-12.30pm before each seminar and is a chance to meet fellow members of LINC for informal discussions.

Workshops
LINC workshops are dedicated half-day events which focus on a single research theme. Each workshop will bring in third sector organisations to present on patient-public perspectives. The Theme Lead will provide an overview of the existing research, followed by roundtable discussions where we welcome input from researchers, clinicians and healthcare professionals from any discipline. The workshop objective is to showcase research strengths and collectively identify novel interdisciplinary research projects. Each workshop is accompanied by a call for pump priming funds (SYNAPSE Awards). All welcome. There will be four workshops in year one (2025-2026) and the remaining five themes will be covered in year two.
