Liverpool Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Centre will hold its first conference in November 2026 to bring together researchers, clinicians, partners and stakeholders to hear talks from leading lights in the field of neuroscience.  

Based at the University of Liverpool, LINC is a new research centre launched in summer 2025. It brings together clinical, behavioural, and translational neuroscience researchers, developing innovative diagnostics, treatments, and interventions for major neurological conditions, to improve health outcomes and quality of life.

In partnership with regional NHS trusts (The Walton Centre, Alder Hey and Mersey Care), UK and global Industry, Policy Maker and Third Sector collaborators, LINC is set to transform brain and mind research in Liverpool and improve neurological outcomes, locally, nationally, and globally.

This event marks a significant milestone in our commitment to advancing interdisciplinary research that uniquely brings together brain and mind research to tackle some of the world’s most pressing neurological, neurosurgical, psychiatric, and brain health challenges.

The event will be open to national and international academics, industry and third sector partners and NHS colleagues. All welcome. 

We look forward to celebrating this landmark occasion with you and sharing our vision for the future of neuroscience research.
