A range of Wellcome Connecting Science global training activities, taking place in a variety of training hubs across the world.

Some of the topics covered by our 2024 programme include:

  • Microbiology
  • Pathogen surveillance
  • Fungal pathogens
  • Antimicrobial resistance
  • Mitochondrial medicine
  • CRISPR gene editing
  • Cancer ecology
  • Biomolecules of ancient organisms
  • Epigenomics approaches for chromatin biology
  • Viral genomics and bioinformatics
  • Computational molecular evolution.

We disseminate knowledge and training online and in-person, globally. Join us for one of our 60 genomics-focused events, available across a range of accessible platforms:

  • Conferences for knowledge exchange and networking;
  • Training courses for advanced skills development and building knowledge communities;
  • Online learning to build core knowledge and skills capacity.

Scientific conferences 

Scientists participating at Wellcome Connecting Science conferences, at Hinxton Hall Conference Centre, UK.

 

Our UK-based conferences programme will introduce you to new and innovative research to inform your own project(s), and provide you with the opportunity to present your research and gain feedback from experts in the field.

Join globally leading scientists to:

  • Present your own research on a global stage;
  • Meet the scientists behind the papers you have read;
  • Discuss, in -depth, the latest science in your field
  • Hear a diversity of research from across the globe;
  • Strengthen your understanding of the genomics tools and approaches shaping the future for further ground-breaking research;
  • Meet and network with globally leading scientists and multidisciplinary peers;
  • Make personal connections and find collaborators to support new research.

Training courses 

If you are in need of hands-on training in the technical aspects of genomics applications, our courses – whether held inside or outside the UK – will enable you to:

  • Master the newest laboratory and computational approaches, and open access software tools;
  • Learn effective application through real-world scenarios and case studies, tailored to a regional focus;
  • Join a community of practice for continued learning and support beyond a single training course.

Practical training in areas such as the application of genomics in clinical microbiology or a clinical virology context will all be covered by our 2024 course offer.

Join our global communities of practice 

All our events foster communities of practice, which you automatically become a part of as a participant at one of our courses or conferences. These communities are home to like-minded peers, with whom you can continue the dialogue after the training has ended. At Connecting Science we are not simply focused on the event, instead we nurture learning environments that provide sustained mentorship and knowledge exchange.
