The Masterclass aims to inspire, support and train the next generation of researchers who are interested in improving the lives of older people and those with a disability.

During the Masterclass you will learn about the results, knowledge and experience of previous research projects. delegates will also have the opportunity to meet and gain advice from experts in the field and develop peer support networks. It is particularly aimed at post-doctoral researchers, new lecturers and PhD students.

The residential is being organised and funded by the EPSRC's KT-EQUAL consortium. It will suit a variety of disciplines with interest in the area, but priority will be given to those working in or interested in collaborating with people who work within the Engineering and Physical Sciences Council's remit.

**Attendance on both days, meals and accommodation on the 30th November is free.

The SPARC Story

Welcome to SPARC and KT-EQUAL: Knowledge Transfer for Extending Quality Life

SPARC brings together researchers, practitioners and policy makers in ageing. It specialises in communicating the latest design, engineering and biological ageing-related research to all stakeholders, making the case about the benefits for an ageing population of scientific research, and it encourages new blood into ageing research. Although funding for SPARC ended in December 2008, SPARC is continuing to function from the University of Reading within a new initiative - KT-EQUAL which commenced in January 2009. Soon KT-EQUAL will have its own website but for the time being news and information about SPARC and KT-EQUAL events are being handled by the SPARC website.
