Cambridge NeuroWorks - NeuroTech Unconference
Join the unconference shaping the future of neurotech, no panels, no passive listening, just bold ideas, real conversations, and the people actually building what’s next.
An unconference is informal and participant-led, there are no fixed agendas or panels. Instead, attendees shape the discussion on the day. It’s a space for exchanging ideas, surfacing real-world challenges, and discovering new angles on emerging opportunities in neurotechnology. We aim to keep it open, interactive, and driven by curiosity and collaboration. These sessions are designed to be highly interactive, so come with an eagerness to get involved and to share your insights and ideas!
Whether you’re interested in neurotech broadly, neural interfaces, AI in neuroscience, wearable devices, brain health, or translating research to impact, we’d love to have your voice in the room.

Introducing Cambridge NeuroWorks powered by ARIA
Cambridge joins forces with Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) to supercharge progress on a new generation of neuro-technologies designed to treat conditions such as depression, dementia, chronic pain, epilepsy and injuries to the nervous system.
The Cambridge NeuroWorks programme will support the development of breakthrough technologies, from electronic brain implants to brain-computer interfaces, designed to improve lives globally. With a focus on reducing risks and side effects of implants and enabling accessible treatments for millions, Cambridge NeuroWorks is a game-changer in the neuro-health field.
This Unconference is part of the Blue Sky Fellowship Programme in which radical thinkers with disruptive ideas can rapidly test and develop their technologies in Cambridge, and around the UK.
