Please note, this is an opportunity for research teams to connect with charities and is not available to the general public.

The MCRC is inviting a range of cancer charities to a funding day at the Oglesby Cancer Research Building. This event is one of the MCRC’s 20th Anniversary events, showcasing the breadth of our work at the MCRC.

The event features a packed agenda where funders will introduce themselves and their work, explain funding calls and cycles, and help you understand their funding priorities and what their communities are saying.

This event is aimed at academics and researchers who want to diversify their research and funding streams. It will be particularly useful for:

· disease-site-specific researchers

· academics who are applying for funding which is typically under £100,000

The day is structured to maximise networking and learning. While the final agenda will be published closer to the date, you can expect:

• Charity showcase talks: Hear inspiring stories and impactful presentations directly from the leaders of the charities
• Interactive workshops: Deep-dive sessions on funding priorities, funding calls, and what individual charities are looking to see in applications.
• Networking sessions: Speak directly with charity leads and representatives to learn more about how you can partner with them going forward.

• Ruth Strauss
• Leukaemia UK
• Eve Appeal
• Cancer52
• The Christie Charity

This event is FREE to attend. Please register in advance to secure your place.
