The Institute of Cancer Research is educating the next generation of cancer research scientists and we have an excellent reputation for developing Postdoctoral Research Fellows. We are committed to meeting the 'Best Practice' standards of The Concordat, first published in 2008 and revised in September 2019 to support the Career Development of Researchers, becoming signatories in August 2020.
As such, we hold the HR Excellence in Research Award from the European Commission since 2010. This award demonstrates how we are committed to developing our researchers in accordance to the 2008 Concordat and involved an external review every two years.
In becoming signatories of the updated Concordat we commit to regularly reviewing our progress against its principles to recognise and value researchers for their contributions in research and beyond, support them in their professional and career development and equip them to succeed in their chosen careers.
