Our excellent organisation
Our vision: We will be an excellent organisation motivated by our mission and our values – where brilliant and diverse people work together as One ICR, supporting our science and embracing a sustainable future.
We can only fulfil our mission to defeat cancer if we are a great organisation capable of supporting and sustaining world-class science.
Our new research strategy is an ambitious attempt to turn research discoveries into real benefits for cancer patients. To realise our goals, we want to be a fantastic place to come and work – with an environment that attracts brilliant scientists, clinicians, professional staff and students from all over the world. Our motivated workforce will deliver excellent services for our science with urgency and efficiency. We will place our values at the heart of our organisation, work together across boundaries and create dedicated programmes to embed diversity and support early-career development. We also want to safeguard the ICR for the future, so we can continue conducting our world-class research until cancer is defeated.
