This looks really good! Do consider going along – and I believe there are some taxi vouchers available for transport and “heaps of parking”.. :)
UTAS College of Health & Medicine Multiple Sclerosis Research Engagement Workshop & Public Symposium “Interactive Brainstorming the next Big Ideas in MS”
Date: Thursday May 30, 2019 – World MS Day Time: 10am-12.30pm Venue: C3 Convention Centre, Angelsea Street, South Hobart
If you’re interested in being a part of the next big thing in research, please join us at our Multiple Sclerosis Research Engagement Workshop on May 30th, World MS Day.
World MS Day is the perfect time for us to take stock of the MS Flagship Program successes so far, and think about our next opportunities and future directions. The MS Flagship Program is a collaboration between UTAS researchers and MS consumer organisations working together to generate and translate knowledge on the causes, treatment and prevention of multiple sclerosis. (You may have heard it was recently awarded $10 million and launched a MOOC).
We want a diverse group of people and disciplines to work together and help us on this research mission.
There is no requirement that you have any experience in the area of MS, or even health and medicine. We want a broad range of people with an interest in fields such as education, policy change, data management, prevention, treatment, analytics, behaviour change, and lifestyle factors.
We also want the opportunity to learn from you and your experiences.
We are having a lunch and public symposium following the workshop and you are welcome to stay for a bite to eat and a chance to engage with members of the MS community.
Please RSVP to angela.wilson@utas.edu.aumailto:angela.wilson@utas.edu.au by Friday the 24th of May if you can attend.
