The closeNIT and Neuromod+ networks have been working closely to foster collaboration across the neuroscience and neurotechnology communities, including co-hosting the second UK Symposium on Neuromodulation and Neurotechnology on 25–26 November in Newcastle upon Tyne. The two-day meeting brought together researchers from diverse disciplines for stimulating discussion and networking, with sessions covering neuromodulation for cognition and mental health, the implementation of neurotechnology in neurology and psychiatry, recent advances in the field and the commercialisation and regulation of emerging technologies.
As both projects near their end, we are committed to maintaining the strong collaboration and momentum built through these networks. Representatives from both networks are planning an annual meeting – the next to be hosted in Oxford towards the end of 2026 – to continue to develop activity in the space, and carry forward the legacy of a cohesive neurotechnology community in the UK.
