Babraham Research Campus

💥 We are still on a high after being named winners of the ‘Driving an Interactive Community - large’ category at UKSPA - The United Kingdom Science Park Association’s 40th Anniversary Awards last night. 🙌 This award is a very special one for us as it’s in recognition of our approach to building a community that facilitates collaboration and innovation. We’re proud to have nurtured a sense of belonging, pride, and collaboration for our thriving ecosystem of 1,800 members and in our entry set out some of the ways we achieve this which include: 🤝 Actively supporting our community through initiatives designed to unite members both professionally and socially. We have specialised forums, training courses, and networks for CEOs, Lab Managers, HR Managers, CSOs, and COOs, along with groups like Bioinformatics and LGBTQ+, offering tailored support. While key events such as our Campus Symposium, Investor Conference, and business support programs enhance professional growth and encourage collaboration. 👋 Prioritising personal development and mentorship through our Entrepreneurship & Careers Network and a campus-wide mentoring scheme. These initiatives promote networking, professional growth, and collaboration across our community. And demonstrate the nurturing nature of our network that supports start-up and scale-up growth. 📱 The award-winning Campus Connected. This digital platform that streamlines communication, feedback, and operations, while personalising content for users is central to our engagement. It helps make collaboration effortless and engaging. 🚀 Our academic-commercial co-location model. This accelerates innovation through cross-sector collaborations, supported by campus grants, PhD programs, and our life-science accelerator, Accelerate@Babraham. Companies within our ecosystem consistently advance science and secure funding more rapidly, thanks to our supportive environment. Through implementing strategies that connect various community segments, foster collaboration within the broader innovation ecosystem, and drive innovation we have successfully created a vibrant, interconnected environment that not only supports current members but also lays the foundation for future generations. But we won’t rest on our laurels and will continue to develop what we do, and how we do it, to set the standard for future-focused, community-driven innovation locations. Thank you UKSPA - The United Kingdom Science Park Association for this recognition and for hosting such a fabulous celebration of our exciting sector🥂 #UKSPA40 #ResearchCampus #Innovation #Community #LifeSciences
