UCL received a silver award at the UK's Social Mobility Awards 2022 - In2research was a finalist and took home a silver award in the 'Innovation' category at the sixth annual UK Social Mobility Awards. In2research programme aims to improve access to research study and academic careers for people from under-represented groups. The pre-doctoral programme looks to overcome barriers that impact students' opportunity to participate in postgraduate research. UCL received a £790,000 grant this year from the Office for Students and Research England to focus on improving access to research study for Black and minority ethnic participants from low-income backgrounds. The programme was developed by UCL and the social mobility charity In2scienceUK, and is delivered in collaboration with university and third sector partners including City University of London, University of Cambridge, Leading Routes, UK-Pakistan Science & Global Innovation Network and UCL Students' Union. UK Social Mobility Awards were set up to recognise organisations that are prioritising social mobility, for example through recruitment processes and progression programmes, outreach within the local community, or by developing innovative ways to create change. They are organised by leading societal change charity, Making The Leap , who support thousands of young people from less advantaged socio-economic backgrounds each year.
