| | | | Do you want to be more confident in leading your research group or developing new teams?
We have a free leadership coaching programme, which is designed to help our researchers reach their full potential and progress further in their careers. Take part, and you’ll be paired with a coach with senior leadership experience to identify your potential growth and work on your own goals.
The scheme is open to CRUK Fellows, Junior Group Leaders at our institutes, mid-career and senior CRUK-funded researchers with leadership responsibilities, junior postdocs in some cases and senior postdocs aspiring to establish their own independence as a research group leader. |

| | | | | Are you interested in cancer screening and new approaches to early detection of cancer?
Hear from the keynote speakers Peter Sasieni (Queen Mary University of London), Stephen Quake (Stanford University) and Azra Raza (Columbia University) during our international conference.
Join us between 22 -24 October in San Francisco for three days of thought-provoking discussions and networking opportunities.
Stay up to date with the agenda by following #EDxConf24 on social media.

| | | | | | | Join us for a free collaborative seminar organised between our Manchester, City of London and Cambridge centres to promote inclusive research activities.
The speaker for the upcoming session is Rachel Cowen, the University of Manchester's EDI lead on Gender and Sexual Orientation. Her work in academic development focuses on how to address structural inequities in higher education institution (HEI) systems to ensure that the next generation of researchers is more representative of the society in which we belong.
Rachel will demonstrate how her work aims to build inclusive practice, train and develop leaders, and tackle barriers to access, progression and attainment. | | |

| | Working with patients to make research more accessible |
| How do you turn a 20-page article, written for a highly specialised audience of radiotherapy physicists, computer scientists and engineers, into an accessible output for a lay audience?
We recently published a mini-series of articles about a PPIE project to co-create an information sheet based on a paper in Physics in Medicine and Biology.
In the first article, PPI co-ordinator Lisa Whittaker and researcher Catarina Veiga discuss how they worked with patients to understand their experiences of radiotherapy, their concerns about treatment and their interests in the research itself to support its dissemination. |
