Hackathon: Start the first SARMAC Large-scale Collaboration! 

​

Wednesday 11June 09:30 - 12:00

​

In the context of the so-called “replication crisis”, many scientists have argued that large-scale collaborations are the way forward. In these collaborations, scientists from labs around the world work together to collect data and answer critical questions. At SARMAC 2025, we hope to kickstart such a collaboration aging applied psychologists. 

 

The first part of this hands-on workshop will provide practical guidance on how to set up multi-lab studies, including how/when to obtain funding and tips for project management. The second part of the workshop will focus on identifying a SARMAC-relevant topic that attendees will develop together. During the workshop, you will work together to select the key research questions, lay out a roadmap for the project, and identify key roles. As well as being fun and innovative, this workshop will support early career researchers to develop collaborations with members of SARMAC. Ideally attendees will leave the workshop with both new skills and new collaborators!

 

 

How to be a Good Expert Witness

​

Wednesday 11 June 13:00 - 15:30

 

Lots of SARMAC attendees have the knowledge and skills to act as expert witnesses, and would like to move into this area of practice, but don't know how to go about it. This will be a practical workshop offering advice and skills to those considering taking on these roles in future. A panel of “expert” expert witnesses will offer tips and guidance on best practice across a range of jurisdictions.
