Biographical note

Project Summary:The Cheltenham Festivals sell over 150 000 tickets and have a culturally rich network of individual performers associated with each festival. Performers often comment on how much they enjoy meeting people from other disciplines in the Green Room at the festivals. This three-year project focuses on harnessing the creative energy of those individuals in a more formal way through the appointment of a Biosciences Project Manager for the festivals. The aim is to embed bioscience in the programming mind of all the festivals. The project will provide us with the resource to follow up, develop and deliver as innovative events, the many ideas that are generated at a Cheltenham Festival. We will disseminate the work through our media partners and through the creation of a group of leading thinkers and scientists.
