Research News and Media

We communicate the research and expertise of Imperial's scientists. We produce press releases, news stories and multimedia packages about research findings and promote them to the wider media. We also connect researchers with the media to comment on current news and events.

  • Want to reach out the media to comment on an issue
  • Are from the media, and want to talk to one of our experts

  • Want to promote a clinical trial to patients
  • Would like advice about promoting a funding grant, prize, or research-related event
