As part of National Careers Week, 1st – 6th March, Dementia Researcher has teamed up with Alzheimer’s Society, Alzheimer’s Research UK, Race Against Dementia, Dementias Platform UK and the UK Dementia Research Institute to deliver the first Dementia Research Careers Festival. The week-long programme of events, aimed at undergraduates and young-people, will highlight the variety of ways they could bring their talents to dementia research (mostly UK based, but anyone from across the world can join us). From Scientists to Artists, Psychologists to Coders, Communicators to Healthcare Trainees – people from all levels of education and fields of study can find a future in dementia research. Live daily webinars will bring researchers together to discuss their own work and careers paths. New resources, blogs and articles are planned to provide support, advice and guidance, exploring how others came to be in dementia research. There will also be Q&A sessions and connections to over 25 Universities and employers running MSc information sessions + much more. Get involved Here are five ways you could help: 1. Create a showreel – Record a 30 second film clip, telling us your name, what you do and why dementia research is important. Share yourself on Instagram tagging dementia_researcher and #NCW2021 or email it to us adam.smith@nihr.ac.uk if you prefer, (use portrait mode, and email your clip). 2. Write something – We know many of you have your own blogs, podcasts and YouTube channels. Write or record something, share your story and inspire others, then email us with a link, so we can share. 3. Follow us everywhere and amplify our messages – Social media is powerful, we’re promoting the event on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and via our Podcast. Please follow-us and retweet, repost and like the things we’re sharing to promote the event. Also tell your colleagues, family and friends. 4. Download & display our Twitter Header – We know that undergraduates prefer Instagram and TikTok, but their parents might be on Twitter (feeling old?), while you’re there, it would be great if you could share the Tweet out advert. 5. If you are already a researcher, but would like to know more about dementia research, or a different field of study, you're also welcome to join one of our daily webinars - link below.
