Learning for Purpose, Gates Cambridge

Learning for Purpose is a Gates Cambridge programme defined by its learning content and delivery strategies. Through skill-based  workshops, Learning for Purpose  aims to equip every member of the Gates Cambridge community with tools to create and achieve their unique goals and interests.  Cambridge post-graduate study is a unique and powerful time to not only gain valuable skills within one’s field or discipline, but also to develop cross-cutting skills and experiences often absent in scholars’ usual degree-centred training. The Learning for Purpose programme is designed to address this gap. It is organised by Gates Cambridge Scholars and made possible by the financial support of the Gates Cambridge Trust.

Collaborating for Gender Equality in STEM represents the inaugural Learning for Purpose Annual Conference. Through facilitating an Annual Conference, Learning for Purpose aims to expand its reach, and mutually benefit from the engagement of the wider Cambridge community.
