First meeting - Special Interest Group in Social Cognition and Behaviour

Our Special Interest Group meetings are fora for discussion and exchange of ideas in specific areas of mental health. We aim to foster collaborative work in mental health by encouraging joined-up thinking and interdisciplinary approaches and providing opportunities for collaboration between academics, clinicians and other practitioners.

Our next event will be the first meeting of the Special Interest Group in Social cognition and behaviour, bringing together researchers across UCL to strengthen capacity and collaboration across UCL in research into this area.

This event will be held face-to-face at Lecture Theatre G12, 1-19 Torrington Place, London WC1E 7HB from 2-5 pm on Wednesday 7th September and is open to UCL staff and students.

Speakers will showcase examples of cutting-edge research at UCL in social cognition and behaviour and the breadth of methodological approaches and disease areas.
