Some words from me, on our inaugural policy for environmental sustainability in research.

Great to see it off the ground! 🌳

Concordat Day is here!

Being one of the #ESConcordat launch signatories is both a pleasure and a privilege, and Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK is absolutely primed to join the sector in achieving greener research.

Expressions of interest now open for online workshops to co-develop indicators for the assessment of the PCE #REF2029
