How we can help
Through our Researcher Support and Media Office teams, the Wellcome Trust provides advice, training and engagement opportunities to Wellcome funded researchers wanting to improve their communication skills and engage people with their work.
We work with top broadcast, museum, media and arts professionals to provide training and opportunities; more than 80 per cent of participants recommend our training to fellow researchers.
Who you are
Our support is available to anyone from a PhD student wanting to make a start in public engagement through to PIs wanting to develop a strategic approach for their group or institute’s communications and engagement. Whatever your level, view our schedule and the activities in which you can participate, and of course please get in touch to discuss how we can help you.
Who we are
The Researcher Support and Media Office teams are located in the Wellcome Trust building on Euston Road. We hold our training courses throughout the UK and are able to visit groups and centres at their institution upon request.
To learn more, please contact us on 020 7611 8645 or by email: researchers.pe@wellcome.ac.uk.
Non-Wellcome Trust funded researchers
If you are not Wellcome Trust funded, there is still the opportunity to benefit from our partnerships with other organisations. For example, the Wellcome Trust provides funding for Researchers in Residence and Junior Café Scientifique, which offer support to all comers. The National Coordinating Centre for Pubic Engagement website provides extensive information, links and tools for researchers and research/HEI support staff.
