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 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).

Alzheimer Europe Conference Roundup 2022
October 23, 2022
•63m
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.
