The Collaborative Library aims to link up people who do research and those who are interested in the outcomes. Members of participating organisations can upload and showcase lay summaries of key research articles in written, infographic, audio or video formats. All lay summaries uploads will remain accessible for free for everyone forever.Our mission is to increase students’, the wider publics’, academic and other professionals’ access to fast, reliable and easy-to-understand scientific research.

In The Scholars Programme, PhD tutors deliver programmes of university-style tutorials to small groups of pupils, from Year 6 through to Year 12, which develop the knowledge, skills and ambition that help those pupils to secure places at highly-selective universities. Working together with schools, colleges and universities, we are building a national movement that mobilises doctoral and postdoctoral researchers to engage with challenging schools and to address educational disadvantage more broadly.
