Professor Tara Moore was awarded a prestigious Churchill Fellowship to enable her to travel outside of the UK for a period of up to 8 weeks, to Universities of her choosing in USA and Europe, with one overarching objective to increase and retain the number of females in STEM related careers in the UK and globally. Tara was one of the 100 applicants out of the 1200 who applied to be awarded a fellowship in 2016.
The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust was established after Sir Winston Churchill’s death in 1965 as a living memorial to benefit future generations of British people.
Each year over 100 British citizens are awarded Fellowships for a wide range of projects. Their purpose is to widen an individual’s experience, to help growth in confidence, knowledge, authority and ambition and to bring benefit to others in the UK through sharing the results of the experience.
A Fellow is fully funded to travel overseas for between 4-8 weeks. Past award winners include nurses, artists, scientists, engineers, farmers, conservationists, carers, craft workers, artisans, members of the emergency services, sportsmen and women and young people.
