    Overall Purpose:

    GECo's core purpose is scientific writing, content creation and engagement activities to disseminate research findings, and communicate discoveries to wide audiences. It does this via communicating across multiple platforms, including news and media outlets, social media platforms (Twitter, Linked-In, Instagram, Facebook and Threads), and via its website and public engagement activities.

    GECo plays a strategic role in supporting the Director's vision for translational science, and wider MRC and UKRI organisational strategies. A key objective for the Director is supporting bringing future generations and women into science, as well as making science more accessible to wider communities, through planning and holding interactive events, including festivals, pop-up shops, schools outreach events and other creative engagement activities.

    Some of the special projects undertaken recently include A Picture of Health (an exhibition of art, publication of a community-sourced book and a series of panel events), the LMS Gene Home (a pop-up science shop in Westfield London), and planning and delivery of an incredible Royal visit to formally open the Institute in January 2024.

    In addition to its external facing activities, GECo is also responsible for Internal Communications and the staff intranet, creating weekly and monthly newsletters and supporting the delivery of events.
