Continuing to INSPIRE

Published on

Following the success of your student-led research initiatives over the last 12 months, we are pleased to announce our INSPIRE funding has been renewed for two more years, allowing us to support your research activity with even more opportunities!

INSPIRE is a UK-wide initiative designed to engage undergraduates with research. Co-ordinated by the Academy of Medical Sciences and supported by the Wellcome Trust; the scheme supports student-led activities aimed at informing and exciting student doctors about the benefits and potential of a career in research.

So far, our student doctors have proudly utilised INSPIRE funds to support the likes of the Research Skills Summer School, the Student Extracurricular Research Programme, and the upcoming student-organised 5th annual LivResCon.

We're also building an INSPIRE Diary where you'll be able to see upcoming research opportunities, promote your own research, and make sure your events fall at the best times of year to encourage maximum participation.

Information about the diary and more opportunities will be posted on the School’s INSPIRE VITAL pages and in the Bulletin over the next few months

Looking forward to LivResCon 5

LivResCon is the annual student research conference, led by the Liverpool Student Research Society. By students, for students, this one day event is an amazing opportunity for student doctors to showcase their research.

The conference theme for 2020 is translational medicine; guest speakers of the highest calibre from around the UK will come together to share their knowledge. We will celebrate the 5th anniversary of the conference by showcasing a variety of student research projects, ranging from embryos to transplants, and throughout the day there will be four interactive workshops - catering to those with all levels of experience - whether you are just starting out or have long decided to walk the research path.

We have also increased the opportunities to allow for even more great student posters and presentations - with prizes to be won! We are looking forward to seeing you there.
