LEARN Dundee

MND Scotland is bringing our Lived Experience and Researcher (LEARN) events back to Dundee in 2026!

Since 2024, we have invited people affected by MND and MND researchers to come together to share their experiences, knowledge, and research.  This year we will be returning to Dundee with a more interactive, engaging schedule for people to discuss MND research, and, of course, enjoy some coffee, tea and biscuits.

MND Scotland has been working with Dundee United FC to once again welcome our MND community to Tannadice Park for LEARN.

LEARN events are free to attend. We would greatly appreciate it if you could register your interest in attending via the registration form below (so we can make sure we order enough refreshments for everyone!). Full information about the event and venue can be found below.

We look forward to seeing you there.
