Life Sciences Hub Wales

Happy New Year and welcome to 2025, a year where I’m looking forward to fostering more opportunities through our partnership with The Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS).

Cross-Sector Experience Awards

This year, we’re also really excited to be supporting the Cross-Sector Experience Awards, which offers up to £100,000 to organisations to support the secondment of staff seeking experience in a different sector for three to twelve months.  

This is a fantastic opportunity to drive cross-sector learning and spark innovation.
We’re especially keen to see Welsh applications flourish, so if you need some help applying, get in touch!

Looking ahead: AMS Partnership 2025/26

As we plan the next phase of our partnership, we’re focussing on:

The Cross-Sector Programme will continue to showcase projects across Wales, foster knowledge exchange, and support innovation to drive progress in health and social care including the launch of an accelerator fund.

We’re excited to be designing the programme for 2025/26. If you want to get involved in, have ideas or questions,  feel free to reach out to via colette.buckley@lshubwales.com.
