The Ultimate Directory on Research Webinars

With the slow but steady reopening of China to researchers, scholars are beginning to restart their long-delayed research projects. This webinar series will feature speakers who have each returned to China within the past six months to conduct research and engage in academic exchange. They will share their experiences and offer advice on how to prepare, what to expect, and how to overcome possible barriers to access and collaboration.

Presented by Edinburgh University, Journal of Parkinson’s Disease and Cure Parkinson’s, the next in this quarterly webinar series on 6 December at 5.00pm GMT will discuss the latest research news in cell replacement therapies for Parkinson’s with Edinburgh University’s Professor Tilo Kunath as chair. Professor Kunath will be joined by: Associate Professor Agnete Kirkeby from the University of Copenhagen who is involved with the STEM-PD study, Dr Cheney Drew of Cardiff University who has been working on patient experience in clinical trials, and patient research advocate Rachel Gibson.

Designing clinical trials around the patient and their experience produces better trials, but what does that really mean, and how is it actually accomplished? How can you be sure you’re collecting data of interest to patient communities? Many common strategies have minimal impact or inadvertently create new challenges for patients. If the trial doesn’t work for patients in their everyday lives, then no recruitment or retention plan can guarantee your study will generate the data you need. In this webinar, you’ll hear from experts dedicated to creating accessible studies that capture the data sponsors need to move to the next stage in product development. Hear from clinical development professionals who have worked with sponsors across therapeutic areas, phases, and modalities to dig into the details of their protocols, examine their application, and ultimately design trials that work for diverse patients. They’ll be joined by a patient advocate who recently collected extensive patient and researcher community data that will be used to inform clinical development for GLUT1 deficiency syndrome. Together, they’ll dive into real-world examples from their work that you can apply to your program, showing how to de-risk your protocol and truly design your trial with the patient in mind. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to: Design trials with a patient experience approach Consider data that is important to patient communities Examine a protocol for patient experience optimization Apply real-life examples to your study

Selecting the right EV charging infrastructure is essential to meet the needs of infrastructure users, building operators and grid operators. There are now over 800,000 zero emission vehicles and 500,000 plug in hybrids, yet estimated only 50,000 charge points. In this webinar we’ll discuss challenges such as grid connections and available building capacity along with the opportunities for building designers and operators including how to reduce fleet impact, reduce the impact from energy cost volatility and how combining technologies can optimize solutions both technically and financially. Attendees will be able to benefit from a better understanding of: Electric Vehicle charger types, Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure use cases, Integration of supporting technologies, and How Eaton is able to offer simulations of technical and financial impact.

As more and more organizations turn to the functional service provider (FSP) model for outsourcing their clinical development and post-marketing needs, this innovative webinar delves into three key strategies to create the optimal FSP partnership. Attendees of this webinar will gain insights into how PPD FSP Solutions helps clients meet their timelines with hard-to-find top-tier staff located throughout the world, and the benefits associated with employing global resources across time zones. The featured speakers will also discuss how FSP arrangements are an ideal model for expanding clinical research and post-marketing operations to non-footprint countries to maintain a broader global presence. To conclude the discussion, the speakers will address the critical factors of how a company should approach the identification and recruiting of talent for FSP engagements. At PPD FSP Solutions, they have leveraged their more than 25 years of experience to create a talent delivery strategy that focuses on meeting aggressive talent ramping plans for sponsors. After this webinar, you’ll know how to create the optimal FSP partnership to fill small gaps in services or outsource multiple functions across a portfolio, the benefits of employing global resources, and how to best identify and recruit talent for FSP engagements.

This talk is an activity from the FEBS Junior Section, an initiative set up by students and young researchers from some of the FEBS Constituent Societies. This event is organized in collaboration with the FEBS Press journals. Speaker: Duncan Wright, Managing Editor, FEBS Open Bio, FEBS Press Title: "Ethics of Peer Review" Time: 1 December 2023, 17:00 (CET)

Axiom Space will hold a virtual press conference with leaders from the Italian Air Force, Italian Space Agency, TÜBİTAK Space Technologies Research Institute (TÜBİTAK UZAY), Turkish Space Agency (TUA), European Space Agency (ESA), and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) to discuss the scientific experiments, microgravity research, and technology demonstrations that will be a part of Axiom Mission 3 (Ax-3). 

Watch Dr. Bruno Huttner from IDQ in this upcoming webinar: Developing your Quantum-Safe communication migration expertise. It is now widely recognized that current encryption methods have an expiry date and that quantum computing represents a huge challenge to keep our cybersecurity infrastructure secure in the future. Studying and experimenting with quantum communications is now more important than ever. In this webinar, you will learn about QKD technology, its principles of operation, and its applications. Speaker: Dr. Bruno Huttner, Director of Quantum Initiatives at ID Quantique.

There are different types of bias that can affect the work of a MEAL/IM professional working with data. Being aware and alert can help us overcome them and avoid serious flaws in our data analysis and interpretation. During this webinar, we will go over the concept of bias and how it is linked to our work in M&E. We will also discuss ways to manage cases of bias so as to mitigate the risks. In summary, we explore: What is bias? What are the different types of biases? Why is the identification of bias important? How does bias affect data analysis and interpretation? How is bias associated with monitoring, evaluation and learning? How can we manage bias and mitigate the risks? There will also be a Q&A session.

mRNA is never caught naked. RNA binding proteins (RBPs), act as vigilant guardians, covering RNA within cells. The role of RBPs is multifaceted, affecting mRNA processing, localization, life-time, and translation, working at steady state or leading to an instantaneous effect on their target mRNA upon stimuli. RBPs constitute an unexplored frontier, specifically implicated in different diseases including cancer, Neurodegeneration, and inflammation. Over the last decade, advancements in this novel target space have brought us to a juncture where the promise of these new therapeutic opportunities is greater than ever. Join our upcoming webinar to gain insights from expert speakers who have made significant advancements in the field of RBPs: -Definition of an RBP – domains and functional activity -Identification of novel RBPs and RBP-RNA interaction using machine learning -Delve into innovative strategies for discovering RBP modulators
