Cancer Research UK Event
Join us in London for a lively and impactful event:At this unique, half-day event, you’ll hear insightful discussions from expert speakers about the role of research in addressing cancer inequalities and how inclusion can foster excellent research. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with a wide community of people working to beat cancer for everyone, including researchers, funders, policy makers, patient advocates, EDI specialists and more.
This event is a chance to celebrate everyone who contributed to the development of our EDI in research strategic approach and continue the conversation about the future of EDI in research. We hope you’ll gain insights that will inform your own work, partnerships or funding decisions.

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.
