Celebrating 50 years of the

Listen again! 'The MRC at 50 celebratory symposium'

On Wednesday 20 September 2023, we held a fantastic celebratory symposium, featuring talks from students, early career researchers, and senior academics. Topics included Higher Education, Latin America, trades unions in Britain and abroad, healthcare, and cycling.

You can listen to recordings of the talks and find out more about the special journal issue we are currently producing!
