Cutting Edge OA Meeting
About the Meeting
Cutting Edge Osteoarthritis will be held at St Hilda's College in Oxford on Monday 30th June and Tuesday 1st July 2025.
This is a focused meeting, with an exciting programme of internationally renowned speakers presenting the cutting edge of osteoarthritis research. The first meeting was in 2015 and it runs every two years in July.
The meeting includes a half day session, designed for early career scientists, providing an opportunity for students and young post-docs to network with each other and with leaders in the osteoarthritis field. We always aim to provide an opportunity to present to as many of those who submit an abstract as possible, through a range of different types of presentation, and an extended poster session. There is also a keynote presentation on career pathways from Professor Gillian Hawker, University of Toronto, followed by a formal dinner in the College.
The meeting will take place at St Hilda's College, in a riverside location close to the centre of Oxford. The reception dinner will be held in the newly built Pavilion. Accommodation is offsite in nearby Magdalen College, and St Edmund Hall William R. Miller building.
