Every year, UCL recognises and rewards the outstanding achievements of non-professorial academic staff through an annual promotions cycle. Promotions are awarded to staff showing exceptional talent and commitment to UCL's mission.

We now have 19 new professors, 2 new professorial research fellows, 10 new associate professors and six new principal research fellows. The success of our staff represents the huge amount of talent they share and their commitment to furthering the field of brain sciences.
