About the speaker

About the talk
The Wellcome Trust wants to help build a better research culture – one that is creative, inclusive and honest. Current practices prioritise outputs at almost any cost. This is damaging people’s wellbeing and undermining the quality of research. We can all help to reimagine how research is conducted. Diego will cover what he and his colleagues at The Wellcome Trust have done so far with the Reimagine Research programme and where they are headed in the future.
