LORIC Ideas Cafe events are an opportunity for anyone with a personal, professional or academic interest in autism to meet, share ideas and collaborate on new projects.

The purpose of the event is to allow a space for people to network and consider how issues affecting the autistic community in Lincolnshire can be addressed.

The focus of this session will be on research related to autism:

- Updates on research projects and findings

- Promoting collaboration between researchers, the autistic community and policy makers

- Using research to influence strategy and policy

There will also be dedicated time for you to spend on your own discussions, ideas and collaborations.
