Two discussion days address fundamental advances and challenges; the final day considers translation and wider impacts. Programme participants include Steve Furber, Judith Driscoll and Tony Kenyon. The meeting takes place at The Royal Society, 6–9 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG, or online, on 23–25 November 2026. Times are GMT (Europe/London, UTC+0). Sessions run 09:00–17:00 on 23 and 24 November, with posters 17:00–18:00 on 23 November; the 25 November programme runs 09:30–15:15. Timings may change. Attendance is free for researchers in relevant fields, with advance Eventbrite registration required. Separate online and in-person tickets cover the discussion meeting and final-day event; attending every day is optional. Lunch costs an optional GBP 25 on each of the first two days and is free on the third. Poster proposals are due 23 October, subject to capacity.

This meeting connects medical students, trainees and others interested in neurology and neurosurgery with clinical specialists and practical training.

No prior simulator experience is required. Posters and sponsor exhibits run during breaks and lunch, with poster prizes at closing. Conference proceedings are planned for Surgical Neurology International. The event runs November 21, 2026, 08:30–17:30 Europe/London (GMT, UTC+00:00), at the James McCune Smith Learning Hub, University Avenue, Glasgow G12 8QW, UK. General admission costs £45 plus £1.13 service fee. The £70 ticket plus £1.75 fee adds individual CV feedback and a trainee Q&A panel.
