Every year the beacons get together for the National Beacons Gathering. In 2010 we were hosted by the Manchester Beacon. The day was designed to explore two key themes: reward and recognition and evaluating culture change. Over 55 staff and external partners attended from across the Beacons project, including staff directly employed in the beacons, their evaluators and colleagues from within their universities, from post doc students to PVCs.
