NESTA's Crucible Programme

'Crucible' was a professional and personal leadership and development programme designed by NESTA and aimed at experienced post-doctoral researchers and those in their first academic position. The scheme enabled 30 talented researchers from a variety of disciplines to come together to explore and expand their creative capacity and problem-solving potential. As well as its personal impact, NESTA's Crucible programme led to numerous interdisciplinary collaborations for its participants and has established itself as an innovative way of empowering researchers and adding value to their institutions.
