The IENE 10 project involves an international team of multi-disciplinary experts developing and running the first ever e-learning 'MOOC' (Massive Open Online Course) course on the growing role and place of social robotics in health and social care. The course is primarily aimed at preparing the health and social care workforce to work with socially assistive robots (SARs) in health and social care settings. Anyone with a connection or interest in health and social care are encouraged to register in the course. This may include, but not be limited to, students on any course connected to health and social care, formal and informal carers, nurses, health care assistants, support workers, doctors, physiotherapists, or occupational therapists.

If you are a professional, practitioner, stakeholder, decision maker, educationalist, and/or policy maker or someone who is working or interested in health and social care - join us and learn more about this exciting project and course!

Refreshments (tea, coffee, finger buffet) will be offered as well as a small goody bag.

All participants who stay for the whole day will be entered into a lottery for a chance to win prizes, including the new "Transcultural Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Health and Social Care" book worth over £100. Winners will be announced at the end of the event.
