GenerationResearch: Providing scientific adventure for young career scientists

Dr Jillian Barlow, Founder of GenerationResearch, University of York and students

GenerationResearch supports the next generation of scientists, ensuring they can access opportunities which enable their ambition to embark on a career in science, technology, engineering, maths, and medicine (STEMM). We work to attract funding from research councils, corporate partners and industry, individual philanthropy, and small charitable donations in order to financially support summer studentship and research degrees for students from underrepresented and diverse backgrounds. We finance research, technical, and science policy projects so that these students can gain practical experience and confidence. We launched GenerationResearch in 2021 at the University of York and thanks to all our funders 4 years later we have funded over 100 paid summer studentships to students from universities across Yorkshire and The Humber.
