Research events and conferences
As well as hosting our own events and conferences, our research funding, strategy and partnerships teams attend and exhibit at a range of conferences, meetings and workshops throughout the year.
We find this invaluable in meeting researchers and potential partner organisations to discuss opportunities to work with us. If you have any feedback about the events or information you’d like to see here in the future, or would like to arrange a meeting with our staff at these events, please do get in touch.
The Future of Functional Genomics: Virtual Webinar
Date: Tuesday 11 May 2021
Time: 13:00-15:00 (BST)
Location: Webinar
The Functional Genomics Centre is hosting a webinar with experts to discuss key trends in functional genomics and how we can expect these to accelerate progress in cancer research. This webinar will also be your chance to hear from researchers who have used FGC’s genome-wide CRISPR screening capabilities for their research and how you can access these for your own projects. You'll hear from our exciting speaker line-up including: Mathew Garnett (Welcome Sanger Institute), Tyson Sharp (CRUK Barts Centre), Rachel Grimley (Cancer Research UK), Michelle D. Garrett (University of Kent) and Greg Hannon (CRUK Cambridge Research Institute).

Applying lessons from COVID-19: Shaping the delivery of cancer clinical trials
Date: Thursday 20 May 2021
Time: 13:00–14:15 (BST)
Location: Webinar
During the COVID-19 pandemic, clinical research nurses and delivery teams nationwide have shown resilience and pragmatism, adapting clinical trial delivery to ensure the safety of patients. Now we have an opportunity to capture lessons and innovations from this period.
Join us on International Clinical Trials Day to explore positive lessons from cancer clinical trials delivery during COVID-19 – and how we can harness these insights to influence the future of cancer trial delivery for the better.
If you have any questions, please email us.
Inclusive research and innovation events
We've prioritised embedding Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) across all our research activities to help foster environments that support innovation and creativity. Our research events are designed to showcase cutting-edge science, bring together an international scientific community and facilitate collaborations.
We want to provide welcoming and inclusive research events where we inspire, inform and engage a range of researchers and promote a positive research culture for everyone. To support this, we've developed a code of conduct to set out our expectations for everyone involved in our research events.
Contact our events team
If you are organising an event of interest to our cancer research community, or you would like to invite CRUK staff to attend or speak at an event, please get in touch.
We also have a number of resources that can help CRUK Centres, Institutes and investigators with the organisation, marketing and delivery of meetings and conferences. Talk to our Events team to find out more about what we can do for you.
