The NIHR Policy Research Unit Dementia and Neurodegeneration of the University of Exeter (DeNPRU Exeter) is running two workshops in October with an EDI focus. 

On 15 October, those working with minority ethnic communities affected by neurodegenerative conditions are invited to take part in this workshop https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/raising-awareness-of-neurodegenerative-conditions-tickets-946418943537?

There will also be another event on 16 September entitled ‘What works when working together? A practical guide for involving people with different neurodegenerative conditions in policy research’. We don’t yet have a link for this.
