The University of Oxford welcomed international partners for the GLOW-CAT International Partners Meeting, held from 11–13 March 2026 at the newly constructed Life and Mind Building, home to the Department of Experimental Psychology.
The three-day meeting brought together investigators, collaborators, and project leads from across the GLOW-CAT partnership, with representatives travelling from Chile, Japan, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand and Iceland. As the partnership’s annual face-to-face workshop, the event provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships, reflect on progress, and work collaboratively towards delivering the project’s aims as set out in the Wellcome-funded grant.
A central focus of the meeting was fostering collaboration across countries and disciplines. Through a series of interactive workshops and discussions, partners explored key areas of the project, including the translation workstream, the role of expert reference groups, and the ongoing qualitative interview research package. These sessions encouraged open dialogue, knowledge-sharing and alignment across teams, helping to ensure that the project continues to move forward in a coordinated and impactful way.
Beyond the formal programme, the meeting also offered time for informal connection and cultural exchange. Delegates enjoyed a guided tour of Oxford, taking in the city’s historic landmarks and academic heritage, as well as a dinner at the Saïd Business School. These moments provided a relaxed setting for partners to build connections and strengthen the sense of a shared, global community.
Overall, the meeting marked an important milestone for the GLOW-CAT partnership. By bringing together expertise and perspectives from across the network, the event reinforced a collective commitment to collaboration and laid strong foundations for the next phase of the project.
