Building Research InterDisciplinary Groups through E-conferences Upcoming Event: Women in Social Neuroscience
With 5 major events, the socialBRIDGES e-conferences are now hosted by TU Dresden.
The upcoming event in the socialBRIDGES series is organized by Merle Fairhurst (TU Dresden) and Ilanit Gordon (Bar-Ilan University), and aims to shine a light on the pioneering efforts of women in social neuroscience. With talks, poster sessions and discussions, it will be an opportunity to receive feedback from experts in the field, to address current gaps in research pertaining to women and to promote young researchers. The highlight will be a panel discussion with two distinguished pioneers in the field: Prof. Uta Frith and Prof. Simone Shamay-Tsoory.
We look forward to welcoming you to our event. Join us live on March 23rd!
For more details of the tentative line-up of great speakers and interactive format, please see our Programme tab for more details.
And until then, you can catch up on our previous event on our socialBRIDGES YouTube channel accessible through our socialBRIDGES archive.

Building Research InterDisciplinary Groups through E-conferences
With non-essential travel limited both due to the associated carbon cost and the risk of Coronavirus transmission, we stand at an impasse. Conferences may seem like a thing of the past. This challenge offers us a unique opportunity to rethink how we as a community wish to gather and discuss our common interests. With BRIDGES (Building Research InterDisciplinary Groups through E-conferences), we propose a solution that makes use of the available technology, so that we can meet as a community but without the restrictions of disciplinary or geographical boundaries. In doing so, we hope to:
• Promote interdisciplinary exchange (free & unrestricted registration to audit)
• Facilitate new collaborations (themed workshops)
• Train young researchers (elevator pitch style poster competitions with prizes & feedback)
• Ensure quick turnaround of ideas and results (short interval between call & conference)
