This year the annual NIHR Academy Members' Conference will be held on 24 November 2020 as a virtual event.
During the conference you will be able to experience many of our most popular aspects of our in-person event including a broad range of inspiring speakers, case studies, exhibitors and skills sessions. There will also be the opportunity to showcase your research in a poster competition as well as network with fellow NIHR Academy Members.
Our theme this year is Research for Everyone and our goal is to share with you practical tools, tips and resources to help you in your roles.
The agenda and format of this year’s event has been developed with input from a steering group including NIHR Academy Members, public and patient involvement representatives and equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) experts.
