Wellcome Trust study tour

Study Tours to the Wellcome Trust are intended primarily to be an opportunity for administrators from universities to gain an understanding of how the Wellcome Trust operates. It also provided administrators with a forum for discussing topics of common interest with colleagues they may otherwise not always have the opportunity to meet.
