Public Engagement and Schools Outreach at the ICR
Our world-class research is dedicated to making the discoveries that defeat cancer. We are committed to sharing our research and scientific knowledge and inspiring, collaborating and consulting with the public, who support our work and whose lives will often be touched by it.
By engaging the public, we can connect with our local communities, people whose lives have been impacted by cancer, and others who are interested in our work. This helps to inform the decisions people make about science and their health and inspires the next generation of scientists.
We rely on the enthusiasm and dedication of our staff and students for our public engagement work and are committed to supporting them to engage meaningfully with the public by offering them training, one-to-one advice and written guidance.
Public engagement strategy
Our three-year plan to embed public engagement across the ICR, create lasting relationships with local community groups and inspire young people to pursue careers in science.
Public events
The ICR takes part in a range of public events, including local science festivals, events at museums and community events where we share knowledge and ideas about our research with the public.
Resources for schools
We are passionate about inspiring the cancer researchers of the future. We have produced a range of resources for schools and young people, which help students develop their scientific skills and knowledge.
