A Warm Welcome from Tony Jones This yearly publication provides the opportunity for us to reflect on a year of One Nucleus activities, to highlight some of the successes and gained insights among our members and the wider Life Sciences sector. Further, it is also a chance to share with our network some thoughts and plans we have for the year ahead with regards to our focus and how we aim to offer the best support to the membership. I am delighted this year that we have included more details of the activities delivered in 2021 since these are not a simple reflection of what the One Nucleus team has been doing but also illustrates well what our network has engaged in as it continues to adapt to a world coming out of the pandemic. Learning Lessons from Challenges Business practices changed for all when it came to deal making, workplace operations and everyone’s daily life as we encountered the pandemic. The uncertainty remains in some respects of course and it seems inevitable that after such a disruption, things will not just return to the pre-Covid business-as-usual operations. Lessons are always learned from challenges, we must hope to retain some of the efficiencies that were introduced. It was exciting to hear at numerous One Nucleus events and other meetings how the sector’s thought leaders have adopted new ways of working with the intention of accelerating the translation of great innovation into a more integrated patient benefit. Highlights in this Review Within this review you will get the opportunity to read some contributed editorial articles from PharmaVentures, BioMed Realty and Mills & Reeve along with learning about the highlights from our own One Nucleus work. This will include a recap of our conferences (Building Life Science Adventures, ON Helix and Genesis) as well as click throughs if you’d like to catch a recording of sessions you missed or would like to see again. This latter option a benefit of it having been necessary to turn to virtual events. This recording option for on-demand catch-up is an offer we have retained whilst returning to in-person events on a regular basis. The review of One Nucleus activities will continue as you read, to provide updates on our Virtual Innovation Centre, Training Courses that sixty companies have utilised, the launch of our ‘Employer of Choice’ and Mentoring scheme after topics aired at BLSA 2021, the forty-nine nonconference events, the Member Savings performance and how we have advised on a record level of R&D Space design and fit-out to name but some. Not just a listing of the One Nucleus membership offer, but the data that illustrates how we deliver.
