Better together: A celebration of the best of research worldwide  

Now, more than ever before, it’s important for market research professionals to come together to celebrate what we share as researchers, the value of insight and our work.

MRS has designated July as an International Research Month culminating in the UN International Day of Friendship. The theme "Better together: A celebration of the best of research worldwide" seeks to celebrate the shared pride in research that exists in so many diverse places around the world. Jane Frost, our CEO, gives her global outlook.  

The Power of Together: Celebrating young researchers worldwide 

We recognise and acknowledge young researchers by giving them a voice and platform, and a chance to connect to their fellow researchers regardless of where they live in the world! We’ve received lots of great videos from researchers telling us where they live, what they do as researchers and what they love about research. And in the spirit of being connected to fellow young researchers we encourage everyone to join our specialist network  &more for professionals aged under 30.

International Research Perspectives: Making unexpected global connections

MRS connects research professionals globally, through individuals and companies. We pride ourselves on bringing research professionals together and our International Affiliate community has grown rapidly in the last few years. In the spirit of celebration, we’d paired research professionals from different organisations and countries for an informal discussion on current research topics. We’ve seen great conversations taking place and people making new unexpected connections with professionals they may not have otherwise met.
