Wellcome Trust Monitor

The Wellcome Trust Monitor is a unique survey of UK adults' and young people's views of science, biomedical research and science education.

* Wave 1 (the baseline survey) was conducted in 2009 by the National Centre for Social Research who interviewed 1,179 adults and 374 young people.
*Wave 2 was conducted in 2012 by Ipsos MORI who interviewed 1,396 adults and 460 young people.

The findings are representative of the UK population - adults (aged 18 and over) and young people (aged 14-18) - and provide fresh and significant insights to inform science communication practice and how research priorities might be shaped, building a better understanding of the societal and educational context of biomedical research.

Also included are wave 2 infographic summaries on:
*Biomedical research topics
*Engaging with science
*Science education
*Medical research and the public
