Café Culture is an opportunity for you and your colleagues to talk about the challenges you face in research culture, reflect on what a better culture would look like, and propose solutions for how Wellcome and other parts of the system could change.
You can hold your Café Culture session online using a video conferencing platform. We'll send you guidance on how to host a successful remote discussion.
If you'd prefer to wait and hold your session in person, you'll also have the option to download and print a physical Café Culture kit. Please consider the safety and wellbeing of all participants before going ahead.
Arrange a time for your session. You’ll probably need at least 60 minutes.
You can run a Café Culture with three or more people, although we recommend a maximum group size of 10 to make sure everyone has a chance to speak. It may be most comfortable if the participants are at a similar career stage.
Familiarise yourself with the information in your Café Culture toolkit, and share the pre-read material with attendees before the meeting.

After your discussion, share your ideas:
through our online forum – you can also see what other groups of researchers have suggested
Your conversations will feed directly into our work to craft goals for creating a better research culture, driving the changes Wellcome will be making and encouraging others to make.
We’ll also be inviting every Café Culture participant to join our Research Culture Ambassador Network. Through the network you'll be given resources to help encourage a better culture at your organisation, and get a chance to contribute to the next phase of our work.

[Summary] Perspectives on and experiences of research culture, based on a survey of more than 4,000 researchers in the UK and globally.
Title
What researchers think about the culture they work in
The findings of our survey of more than 4,000 researchers expose the stark pressures that many face. But together, we can learn from one another’s good practice and come up with new ways to improve research culture.
Title
It's now beyond doubt: we need to reimagine the way research works
Current practices prioritise outputs over people’s wellbeing. We want to help build a better research culture – one that is creative, inclusive and honest.
