Research for older people and those with a disability

The Masterclass aims to inspire, support and train the next generation of researchers who are interested in improving the lives of older people and those with a disability.

During the Masterclass you will learn about the results, knowledge and experience of previous research projects. delegates will also have the opportunity to meet and gain advice from experts in the field and develop peer support networks. It is particularly aimed at post-doctoral researchers, new lecturers and PhD students.

The residential is being organised and funded by the EPSRC's KT-EQUAL consortium. It will suit a variety of disciplines with interest in the area, but priority will be given to those working in or interested in collaborating with people who work within the Engineering and Physical Sciences Council's remit.
