Key MELODEM events
MELODEM hosts two types of events:
- Working Group seminars: 55-minute seminars, via zoom, on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of most months, open to all. Anyone in any field related to dementia presents past research, or current works in progress. They typically focus on new methods or topics that intersect with methods, and engage lively discussion from participants.
- Annual in-person Conference: 4- to 5-day meetings, during the spring or summer, at a location in the U.S. or France, by application. Our next Annual Conference will take place in the summer of 2025.
