CSO Fellowship Day 2026

Posted by: Holly - Posted on:

More than 30 fellows, alongside representatives from the CSO Fellowship Panels, members of CSO’s Public Engagement Group, and NHS Research Scotland’s Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Lead, came together last week for the inaugural CSO Fellowship Day at Victoria Quay in Edinburgh.

Designed to support networking and professional development, the event enabled CSO’s Capacity Building Fellows to share experiences, make new connections and gain practical insights to support their ongoing research development.

Attendees heard from final-year fellows about their research and fellowship experiences, learned more about funding opportunities, and explored the importance of patient and public involvement in research. The day also included dedicated advice and networking sessions with panel members and public contributors.

The inaugural Fellowship Day provided a fantastic opportunity to exchange ideas, spark new collaborations and celebrate the breadth of talent across the CSO fellowship community.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day such a success. We are already looking forward to the next opportunity to bring the fellowship community together!
