Celebrating success – and beyond PROPEL

You are warmly invited to an early evening reception to celebrate the successful completion of the PROPEL 2025 programme on Thursday 11 December, from 5.00pm to 6.30pm in The Lantern.

PROPEL is a new programme to support our already successful mid-career researchers understand the research landscape, develop inclusive leadership skills and lead larger research projects in line with GCU’s strategic research aspirations. This reception marks the culmination of the inaugural 2025 programme and offers an opportunity for the participants to share their experiences and achievements with the wider GCU research community.

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating their success alongside colleagues from across the University, including senior research leads, Deans, Heads of Department, and staff working in research support, communications, and impact.

Attendance will be capped so please register early to secure your place.

Wine, soft drinks, and nibbles will be provided.

We look forward to celebrating the achievements of our PROPEL 2025 researchers with you.

Best wishes

Prof Rachel Baker, Director, Yunus Centre

Prof Carol Emslie, SHLS Research Culture Lead
