The Hub

The Hub ran from 2014 to 2026 as Wellcome’s dedicated space for transdisciplinary research on the fifth floor of Wellcome Collection. 

The £1 million grant supported the creation of new knowledge by bringing together people from different backgrounds, such as academia, advocacy, clinical practice, lived experience and the arts, to explore specific questions about human health.

We hosted four research residencies. You can find out about each one below or read our 2021 evaluation by Liminal.

We also granted discretionary awards to support indigenous-led transdisciplinary research.
