Our Committees

This committee aims to empower female scientists in the workplace, inspire girls to pursue science careers, and organise inclusive, family-friendly activities and talks addressing topics pertinent to women in academia open for everyone to attend. We are a very active committee searching for new volunteers to join us to either help us to run our current initiatives or to bring your own ideas. We will provide all the necessary tools and contacts to make them happen.

The Science-me a Story committee was formed by 5 enthusiasts who love science and scientific outreach through literature and stories. Being a part of this team means participating in the organization of the contest and the dissemination activities of Science-me a Story and audiobooks, creating a network of institutional collaborators both in Spain and the United Kingdom.

The 'En Foco' committee is composed of a team passionate about photography and research, sharing the same idea of combining both tools to disseminate and communicate research in a 100% visual manner. The committee organises the SRUK/CERU 'Investigación Εn Foco' photography competition, open to SRUK/CERU members and SRUK/CERU friends.

Being the most artistic team at SRUK/CERU, the Design Committee blends talents from graphic design, art, illustration, and beyond. If you are passionate about graphic design, art, and science equally, or want to learn how art and design can improve your science communication, this is the team for you!

1, 2, 3… Explore! is the blog of the Society of Spanish Researchers in the United Kingdom (SRUK/CERU). The SRUK/CERU Blog started in 2016, with the aim to disseminate the research of our members to the public, even though now we are also collaborating with both SRUK/CERU members and non-members. In that way, our readers can learn more about different interests and opinions in diverse scientific fields.

“En Fase Experimental” is a radio podcast produced by the SRUK Radio Team at the Press Department of SRUK/CERU.

The Instagram Committee leads our social media channel, building a more personal relationship with our SRUK/CERU members online. Our content creators believe that sharing the story from the inside is the best way to show how SRUK/CERU is really made.

The Cancer Committee comprises researchers and professionals dedicated to advancing cancer research and fostering collaboration among members in the field of oncology. The committee's primary goals center around promoting scientific excellence, facilitating knowledge exchange, and addressing critical challenges concerning cancer research and treatment for both researchers and the general public.

The Mentoring committee organises our SRUK/CERU Mentoring Programme, which is designed to help and support less experienced researchers starting or have recently started a career in the UK. By connecting them to a suitable mentor with expertise in their field of interest, SRUK/CERU aims to maximise new opportunities for mentees and help them plan a successful career path.

The Evaluation Committee is formed by researchers at various career stages interested in grant management and review process, gaining valuable skills for careers progression.

The SRUK/CERU Scientific Advisory Board provides advice to the SRUK/CERU Executive Committee in scientific matters and participates in scientific evaluations such as the SRUK/CERU Emerging Talent Award. It is composed of senior SRUK/CERU members and external researchers.
