SUMMARY:Voice and Vote: Women and Parliament
DESCRIPTION:Voice and Vote: Women’s place in Parliament \nWednesday 27th June – Saturday 6th October \n09:00 – 17.30 \nWestminster Hall\, London \n100 years since women gained the partial vote\, an interactive exhibition will be hosted in Westminster Hall telling the story of women in Parliament – the campaigning\, the protests and the achievements. \nDr Jacqui Turner\, University of Reading History lecturer and Vote 100 adviser\, and the University of Reading Special Collections are recreating Nancy Astor’s mailbag for the exhibition. Nancy Astor was the first female Member of Parliament to take her seat\, and her letters of correspondence are stored in the University of Reading’s Special Collections. \nThe exhibition will also feature other rare and previously unseen historic objects\, pictures and archives. \nAdmission free. \nFor more information and to book your place visit: https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/vote-100/voice-and-vote/

SUMMARY:A Century of Women MPs Conference. Speakers include Rachel Reeves\, MP and Dr Jacqui Turner\, University of Reading
DESCRIPTION:This conference\, to be held in Portcullis House\, Westminster\, London\, forms a part of celebrations of the centenary of the Representation of the People Act 1918 and the Parliament (Qualification of Women) Act 1918 together with the 90th anniversary of the Equal Franchise Act 1928. \nThere will be two public events during the conference\, the first is a round-table discussion\, chaired by Baroness Hayman\, former Lord Speaker and life peer\, of the experiences of women MPs\, the second is a lecture given by Rachel Reeves MP entitled\, ‘Women of Westminster’. \nAttendees can also enjoy keynote addresses from Dr Jacqui Turner (University of Reading) about Nancy Astor – ‘”Pioneers may be picturesque figures\, but they are often rather lonely ones”: Nancy Astor breaching the gender divide 1919-1923’\, and Professor Krista Cowman (University of Lincoln) about ‘The First Women Candidates’. The will also be the opportunity to see the Vote 100 projects landmark exhibition Voice and Vote in Westminster Hall. \nRegistister for the conference  here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/being-a-woman-mp-round-table-discussion-with-former-and-sitting-members-tickets-47917731224 \nFurther information about the round-table event and the Rachel Reeves lecture can be found here: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/being-a-woman-mp-round-table-discussion-with-former-and-sitting-members-tickets-47917731224

SUMMARY:Symposium: Brain-machine interfaces for rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:From Lab to Clinic – Pathways to translational brain-machine interfaces for rehabilitation\nThe University of Reading will host a focused one-day symposium in September 2018\, aiming to bring together researchers in brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) and clinical experts in rehabilitation to discuss the pathway and the challenges for widespread clinical adoption of BMIs. This event will help early career researchers identify how to bring their BMI research into clinical application. The symposium will include users of BMI technology as well as representatives from funding bodies to provide an all-inclusive and informative discussion on adapting and translating existing research outputs. \nAccepted abstracts will be presented in poster format and some early career researchers will be selected to give an oral presentation. Click here to visit the abstract submission page for more details. \nCandidates who present a poster will be requested to take part in a lightning round\, where they will received 1 minute to present their work to the symposium attendees. \nThe event includes a panel discussion by funding body representatives (MRC)\, and researchers in BMI\, to discuss questions regarding how to fund and conduct research in clinical environments – especially from an early career point of view. Questions to the panel can be submitted in advance with registration or during the day. Lunch and coffee/tea throughout the day will be provided\, and there will be a networking wine and canapé reception at the end of the day. \nPlease consider submitting your work or coming along on the day. \nClick here to submit your abstract.  \nThis event is wheelchair accessible. \nPlease contact ioannis.zoulias@reading.ac.uk if you have any enquiries. \nAbout the symposium\nOrganised by Ioannis Zoulias and Orla Fannon of the University of Reading\, UK\, this symposium aims to address the key challenges in the design and adoption of BMIs in the clinic\, and highlight the pathways to success for researchers working with BMIs for rehabilitation. The meeting will explore the viewpoints of the operators (i.e clinicians) and the end users (i.e patients) of BMI technologies\, focusing on the key considerations for designing BMIs that are adaptable to the variation in physiologies across disabilities\, and suitable for the specific needs of end-users. \nThe symposium will bring together patients\, researchers in cutting-edge BMI technology\, clinicians in rehabilitation\, and experts on the physiology of motor disabilities. The primary goal is to identify the pathways for early career researchers to translate their BMI research into a clinical solution. The secondary goal is to foster new collaborations between clinicians and researchers who are in the early stages of BMI development. The aim is to facilitate the formation of long-lasting collaborations\, and subsequently to create an increase in widespread use of clinical BMIs for rehabilitation. \nThe symposium will host talks by established BMI researchers\, and clinicians\, who will discuss the most promising BMIs for motor rehabilitation\, and share their experiences in designing BMIs and transferring them to a clinical setting. A panel discussion between the audience\, invited speakers\, clinicians\, representatives from funding bodies\, patients\, and academic researchers\, will explore the challenges and opportunities for transferring BMIs to the clinic. The symposium is an excellent event to network with BMI experts\, clinicians and other early careers researchers in BMI\, and to receive valuable input on the translational potential\, limitations\, and advantages of your research within a clinical perspective. \nConfirmed Speakers\n\nMiguel Nicolelis\, Duke School of Medicine Professor in Neuroscience\, Duke University\, North Carolina\, USA\nDario Farina\, Chair in Neurorehabilitation Engineering\, Imperial College London\, UK\nClaire Guy\, Principal Physiotherapist in Spinal Injuries\, Rookwood Hospital\, UK\nIan Daly\, Lecturer of Computer Science\, University of Essex\, UK\n\nConfirmed Panellists\n\nRobin Gibbons\, Senior Research Associate\, Aspire CREATe Group\, University College London\, UK\nMedical Research Council\, UK\n\n
