This year’s Reading Emotions will feature step-change developments in the theory and practice of resilience. From neuroscientific explorations to the applications of AI in building every day resilience ‘in illness and in health’, we have brought senior and early career researchers to showcase their transformative and progressive research in building resilience across the lifespan.

There will be keynote lectures and short talks, and we will be online so that we can accommodate many of us around the world. There will be opportunities for informal exchange of ideas and feedback. Come and join us for this exciting event.
