2026 Milner Consortium Call

22nd January 2026

Online Webinar - 10:00

About the Consortium Call

The pharma partners in the Milner Therapeutics Consortium have been working together with academics at the University, Babraham and Wellcome Sanger Institutes to better understand disease mechanisms and to discover and validate new therapeutic targets. These pre-clinical projects range from reagent sharing to funded pilot or longer-term collaborations (2-3 years) and are expected to lead to joint publications with the company partners.

The Milner Therapeutics Consortium Call will launch its sixth call for research proposals on 12 January. 

Please join the Zoom Q&A webinar on 22 January to find out more and ask questions about the call for proposals.

CCC Early Career Researchers (ECR)Network

ECR Network welcomes everyone to the launch of a new initiative aimed at fostering connections between CCC and ECRs working on all aspects of collections-based research. The Network will be chaired, on a rotational basis, by one of the three N2H PDRAs. By taking part in the CCC ECR Network, members will:

Expand their network amongst academics and collection professionals. Members of the Network will be offered collections-specific skills workshops with curators / collections managers / exhibitions teams in Cambridge to enhance researchers’ knowledge of the working environment.

Have the opportunity to connect with other collection-based researchers for the purposes of knowledge exchange (e.g. with regard to methodology, perspective, approach) and/or collaboration.

Gain professional experience by leading, or co-leading, themed seminar sessions.

Advance their knowledge and understanding of grant funding opportunities with the support of the Research Grants Facilitator.

Gain training in Knowledge-Exchange and Impact.

Learn more about the diverse and exciting collections housed across Cambridge.
