Broadening Horizons is a cross-sector mentoring programme designed to support, develop and empower early-career cancer researchers who are interested in translational research. We are excited to jointly fund the programme, which returns for its third year, with The Wellcome Trust.
The aim of Broadening Horizons is to support early-career cancer researchers with their professional development by raising awareness of the skills and mindset needed to translate discoveries into practical applications for societal benefit. The programme connects mentees with mentors from industry, policy and the third sector, and gives mentees exposure to opportunities in translating research and provides tools, knowledge and guidance.
