Senior Research Fellow Professor Catherine Pope has been appointed as an NIHR Senior Investigator for 2021.
She is Professor of Medical Sociology at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford, and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences.
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) describes Senior Investigators as “among the most prominent and prestigious researchers funded by the NIHR and the most outstanding leaders of patient and people-based research within the NIHR community.”
There have been 31 researchers appointed as Senior Investigators for 2021, in addition to 15 current or previous post holders, who have been given a second term.
Among those reappointed for a second term is fellow Green Templeton Senior Research Fellow Professor Stavros Petrou, Professor of Health Economics at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences.
Professor Pope’s term begins from 1 April 2021.
The title of Emeritus Senior Investigator has been awarded to a further 21 researchers, including Green Templeton Governing Body Fellow Professor Paul Klenerman and Senior Research Fellow Professor Sue Ziebland.
An NIHR Senior Investigator may hold the title for two terms. The status of Emeritus may be bestowed on individuals who have successfully completed two terms as a Senior Investigator.
Alumni in Switzerland came together in Geneva on Swiss National Day for the first in-person gathering of our college`s Switzerland Alumni Group.
After the group’s inaugural online meeting earlier in the year, the gathering was a chance to finally put faces to names, reconnect over memories of Green Templeton and Oxford and hear where life has taken everyone since.
Conversation ranged from career paths and professional exchanges to life in Switzerland and ideas for the growing alumni group.
Josephine Agyeman-Duah (DPhil Women’s and Reproductive Health, 2018), Chair of the Alumni Group, said:
‘It was splendid to reconnect with GTC alumni from different periods and to celebrate Swiss National Day together in Geneva. Our first in-person gathering was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen connections and our GTC alumni community in Switzerland.’
The group is now looking to establish a committee and hopes to connect with other Oxford and Cambridge alumni groups in Switzerland.

Happy International Cat Day! 🐾
It’s been quite the year for Vincent!
After several years of making the college his home, we are delighted to say that we have officially adopted him. A familiar and much-loved face around the college grounds, he has a special way of bringing smiles to everyone he meets.
We’re so proud to officially call him ours!
Happy International Cat Day, Vincent! 💚🐈⬛
✨ Come behind the scaffolding with us.
We were given rare access to the Radcliffe Observatory restoration project, climbing onto the roof to see the incredible conservation work taking place behind the scenes.
From spectacular views across Oxford to the Observatory`s intricate zodiac carvings, we discovered details that are normally hidden from view.
Join us as we explore one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks!
Earlier this summer, we were delighted to welcome audiences to our inaugural Garden Play, with a series of sold-out performances of Shakespeare`s `As You Like It` set in our beautiful college grounds.
Our gardens became the Forest of Arden as students, staff, alumni and the wider Oxford community came together to enjoy open-air theatre in a truly unique setting. Even better, the production has received fantastic reviews from Oxford`s student press.
A huge thank you to everyone who performed in and supported this wonderful initiative.
These peaceful moments around college were captured by work experience student Izzie.
They celebrate the beauty of the college gardens and the simple joy of taking a closer look!
Thank you Izzie for sharing your perspective with us 🌸
