“From 2017-2022, the university’s Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (WIN) partnered with Banbury Museum & Gallery to develop a family-friendly neuroscience exhibition, “Your Amazing Brain”. The exhibition and accompanying events programme ran in Banbury in 2022 and then at the Discover Bucks museum (Aylesbury) in 2022-2023.

Join the WIN team and their museum collaborators for an interactive discussion about the benefits and challenges of museum/science collaborations; the importance of collaborations outside of Oxford city centre; and key learnings from the Your Amazing Brain partnership that may be useful to others pursing this type of project. We’d also love to hear perspectives from attendees about their own collaborations and what they have learned.

This session is aimed at researchers (including doctoral students) and professional services staff. The speakers will be a mix of researchers, professional services staff, and external museum professionals, sharing their different perspectives on the collaborative process.”
