Description
The Anatomical Society’s Departmental Seminar Grants provide financial help to bring visiting speakers into anatomical sciences and related university departments or schools. The scheme supports departmental events sharing scientific research and approaches to anatomy education, rather than standalone research projects. Supported events have included seminars, symposia and workshops.
Past awards illustrate a broad range of relevant subjects, including functional morphology, tissue engineering, neuroscience, developmental biology and medical teaching. Recent supported talks have explored connective tissue function, spinal muscular atrophy and therapeutic targets for Parkinson’s disease. Educational events have addressed flipped classrooms, generative AI in anatomy and health professions education, virtual reality, and spatial conceptualisation through digital visualisation and art-based learning.
