Ask the ERA Brains Trust - Call for expressions of interest

The interactive Ask the ERA Brains Trust format provides selected participants with the opportunity to ask questions and receive research advice from members of the ‘ERA Brains Trust' (relevant experts).

This format is suitable for emerging researchers at any stage who may benefit from specialist advice on aspects of either their planned research, work-in-progress, or completed research.

Participants in an Ask the ERA Brains Trust session will:

• Give a brief individual presentation (introduce and provide a brief overview of their research, and outline their key questions for the ERA Brains Trust to address)
• Participate in a group Q&A session (alongside 1-2 other participants) with members of the ERA Brains Trust that have been allocated to address the questions presented.

Participation in an interactive Ask the ERA Brains Trust session at ERA 2023 is open to Honours, Masters, PhD, Professional doctoral students, and early career researchers engaged in ageing-related research from any discipline.

Please download the Expression of Interest Guidelines and Form for further information and submission instructions.

Those wishing to participate must submit an expression of interest by FRIDAY 6 October 2023.

Professor Evonne Miller Queensland University of Technology   Evonne Miller is Professor of Design Psychology and Director of the QUT Design Lab at Queensland University of Technology. She is the 2023 Conference Chair of ERA, as well as the Australian Association of Gerontology Annual Conference. Her research expertise is in participatory co-design for engagement and transformation in health and aged care and she has authored over 100 academic publications, including several books, on these processes. She frequently uses creative-arts and design methods (participatory photography, storytelling, poetry, serious games, virtual reality) to engage and educate.
