Last week Adam Smith attended the 32nd Alzheimer Europe Conference in Bucharest, Romania. In this podcast Adam and his guests bring you highlights from the discussion and an informal chat around some of the issues being explored on the agenda.
This week’s guests are husband and wife team – Chris Roberts, Chair of the European Working Group of People with Dementia, Jayne Goodrick, Dementia Carers Count Advisory Member. We also have three fantastic early career researchers, Dr Joni Gilissen & Charlèss Dupont from Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Simone Felding from DZNE, German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases.
In this great show we not only get the highlights from our researchers, but we have the privilege of getting first-hand commentary from Chris and Jane, whose personal experience of living with dementia and its impact on their lives, provides a unique, thought provoking, often moving, and essential perspective.
This year’s conference was held under the motto “Building bridges”. As in previous years, this conference is one of the few in the diary that provides a great networking opportunity which brings together people with dementia, their carers, volunteers and staff of Alzheimer associations, policy makers, health and social care professionals, researchers, academics and industry representatives from all over Europe and beyond. It received over 300 abstracts for oral and poster presentations covering a broad range of topics, from fundamental science to care, diagnosis, policies, interventions, treatments and more.

How to create a Narrative CV
October 9, 2022
•46m
In this podcast Dr Yvonne Couch, Associate Professor of Neuroimmunology and ARUK Research Fellow at University of Oxford is joined by four experts to discuss Narrative CV’s, why they’re being introduced, and how to build one. Prefer to watch rather than listen? Find the video version of this podcast exclusively on YouTube.
This weeks guests are:
Dr Katie Meadmore, Senior Research Fellow, National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Evaluation, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (NETSCC), University of Southampton.
Dr Ola Thomson, Research Associate in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at University of Bristol, the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research.
Dr Rosa Sancho, Head of Research at Alzheimer’s Research UK.
Dr Claartje Vinkenburg an Independent Expert Consultant in careers and diversity working with Universities, European Commission and Research Funders.
Background
In October 2019 The Royal Society published “Résumé for Researchers”, and since then many UK and European research funders have adopted the requirement for grant applicants to use a Narrative CV, including UK Research & Innovation, Alzheimer’s Research UK, Dutch Research Council and Science Foundation Ireland.
A Narrative CV is a content-rich alternative to the traditional CV. It enables applicants to showcase a broader range of contributions to research e.g., Science Communications, teaching, mentoring etc. Through the use if this new format, funders hope address concerns that they is an over focus on success measures such as publications in high impact journals and big grant funding (although of course these still help).

- ARUK Narrative CV Guidance
- Royal Society Résumé for Researchers

- DORA Guidance on progressing adoption

Technology & Dementia Week Special – Episode One – Learning about the DISTINCT Programme and tech in dementia research.
This week we turn the spotlight on tech and dementia research, we have three special podcasts (released on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), numerous blogs from people researching and using the latest technologies, and updates on the wider field.
Our podcasts have all been recorded with early career researchers working across Europe, undertaking research projects aiming to improve the lives of people with dementia and their carers through technology and from the DISTINCT Programme (Dementia: Intersectorial Strategy for Training and Innovation Network for Current Technology).
In this show guest host Dr Anna Volkmer talks to Pascale Heins from Maastricht University, Lesley Garcia from University of Nottingham and Mauricio Molinari Ulate from University of Salamanca.
In addition to the overview, each guest shares information on their own projects:
- Pascale is working on improving social participation in dementia with the Geographic Information system-based intervention ‘Viamigo’.
- Mauricio is exploring psychosocial applications of technology for health and wellness, with coaching of older adults with dementia and mild cognitive impairment and their carers in rural areas.
- Lesley is an Occupational Therapist adapting recovery-oriented approaches and technology use in dementia.
