But it can cost money and the various routes to Open Access and different publisher’s models can be tricky to navigate. In this session, we will hear about the critical importance of the University’s Read & Publish deals, about eLife’s new review model, and about the Peer Community In initiative as an alternative to traditional publishing. Speakers include: Theo Andrew, Scholarly Communications ManagerProf Adele Marston, Professor at the School of Biological Sciences and member of the eLife Editorial BoardProf Matt Nolan, INCRDr Mahesh Karnani, INCR 15.05 Refreshments (Atrium)15.30 Keynote lectureTargeting the core neurodevelopmental identity in glioblastoma with a viral immunotherapy Prof Steven Pollard, IRR16.30 Drinks & snacks (Atrium) Tags 2025 Oct 27 2025 13.30 - 16.30 Edinburgh Neuroscience Afternoon Meeting Join us for an exciting afternoon of talks including an Early Career Data Blitz from Postdocs and PhD students; an exploration of emerging and future models for sharing research outputs; and a keynote lecture from Professor Steven Pollard (IRR): 'Targeting the core neurodevelopmental identity in glioblastoma with a viral immunotherapy.'
