Exploring, de-stigmatising and breaking the barriers that people from marginalised demographics face when pursuing a research career is critically important for a healthy academic community. This event aims to do just that: to highlight the stories of people who have overcome such barriers and achieved success in their careers to hopefully inspire others to do the same. This event is open to all researchers and students at UCL.

This event is free.
