From morning research discussions to afternoon insights into the Scottish context, and a closing conversation on ethical, non-extractive research, every voice shaped a meaningful day.

Grateful for the generous support from @britishgerontology.bsky.social and @ethnicityuk.bsky.social

When fellow ECRs engage deeply with an event you've organised, it’s a reminder of how powerful collective dialogue can be.

The Inclusive Ageing event brought together researchers, community voices, and cross-sectoral perspectives to reflect on ageing in ethnic minority and immigrant communities.
