University chapters
Chapters bring Vanguard Science to universities and research institutes, led by members on campus and connected to a wider network.
What chapters do
Talks from leaders
Speakers from research, industry and investment, in conversation with members.
Open events
Events open to every researcher at the institution, not only to members.
Connections
Introductions to industry partners, investors and the wider Society.
A community on campus
Peers who share the ambition to lead, meeting regularly.
Chapters are founded and led by members.
Leading a chapter is real leadership experience, with direct support from the Society.
- 01Support from the Society to launch and run your chapter
- 02Speakers and partners from across the Vanguard network
- 03Recognition and development as a Chapter Lead
Working alongside universities, not in place of them.
We complement doctoral training, careers services and enterprise programmes. If you would like a chapter at your institution, we would be glad to talk.
Support talent where it is being formed.
Chapter partnerships let organisations support scientific talent at particular institutions or in a region, and connect with it directly.
