Frontiers in Traumatic Brain Injury 2018
5th & 6th of July 2018
- A 2-day scientific programme at the forefront of TBI research.
- Wide range of topics
World-renowned international speakers
Following from the success of last year’s inaugural Frontiers in TBI (FITBI) conference, we welcome you to the 2nd FITBI conference this July at Imperial College London. This conference will deliver a 2-day programme of talks and debates, poster sessions and plenty of opportunities to network. Many conferences in TBI focus on a particular area; this conference brings together many topics and scientific disciplines so that delegates can get an insight into all the hot topics in TBI. Given its broad scope, this conference will be of interest to any scientific or clinical discipline working within TBI. There is a programme of invited talks from early stage researchers as well as a faculty of internationally renowned scientists.
Prof David Sharp will chair the conference introducing some renowned speakers and leaders in the field of TBI research. These will include some of the confirmed speakers such as:
- Dr. Alan Carson on psychiatry in TBI
- Dr. Sara De Simoni on cognitive neuroscience research
- Dr. Adam Hampshire on the future of cognitive tracking/training
- Dr. John Hardy on neurodegeneration
- Dr. Lucia Li on brain stimulation and cognitive rehab
Other themes of the conference will include paediatric TBI, disorders of consciousness, modelling of TBI & sports related injuries.
This year we are introducing a podium poster presentation session for a selection of the top submissions for the conference. This will take place in the form of quick-fire presentations (~5min) from multiple poster presenters. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase some of latest developments from some early career researchers.
Last year’s debates, which along with interview of several speakers are available online, on the contentious issues of whether cycling helmet use should be compulsory, and whether the term ‘concussion’ should be retired were extremely successful and entertaining. We will be hosting debates again this year with new hard-hitting questions to discuss. During these debates, the audience will be invited to participate by live-tweeting their questions.
This promises to be a dynamic conference, yet also small enough to facilitate networking and encourage the formation of new collaborations. Abstract submission for the poster competition and Early Bird registration is open till the 26th of May (£150/£112.50 students/trainees).
