Are you currently a member of the Academy's PILLAR community network programme? Has your grant or programme participation come to an end?
As our PILLAR network is for our current awardees and programme participants, we would encourage you to transfer yourself to our HIVE alumni network using the registration link above. You will lose access to the PILLAR portal, but don't worry - your portal profile, messages, groups settings, and the resources you have access to will stay the same.
The Academy is delighted that previous participants of all Academy grant schemes and programmes are eligible to register to AMS HIVE. If you have previously been an awardee of one of the below grants, or a participant of one of the programmes, you are able to join AMS HIVE, and please see the tab ‘How to join’ for more information on how to do so:
If you are a current awardee or participant of one of the Academy’s grant schemes or programmes, you are eligible for the Academy's PILLAR programme - please visit the webpage for further information. You will be contacted towards the end of your activity with further details on how to become an AMS HIVE member.
Our HIVE alumni programme aims to:
- Unlock the networking among our alumni
- Provide longer-term career support
- Keep Academy alumni updated on current Academy work and opportunities
- Bring alumni into current Academy work, offering opportunities throughout policy, careers and more for influential new voices
HIVE alumni portal
The HIVE alumni online portal is an exclusive space, accessible to only the Academy’s alumni community. It is a hub of career development resources, opportunities to take part in the Academy’s work, and opportunities shared by other alumni.
The portal will enable you to virtually meet other Academy alumni from across the globe. Our alumni community spans a diverse range of backgrounds, sectors, industries and areas of expertise – we hope you enjoy this new exclusive way to connect with each other.
The Academy hopes that this new HIVE alumni programme will help to convene the expertise and knowledge of our former grant awardees and programme participants, and alumni who register through the portal will be invited to provide their valuable input to Academy activities when opportunities become available.
Events
HIVE alumni members who register through the portal will be invited to a dedicated annual alumni event tailored to the community’s interests. You will also receive updates and invites for other ongoing training opportunities and Academy lectures and talks.
Alumni newsletters
HIVE alumni members who register through the portal will be automatically signed up to receive tailored quarterly update newsletters. These will showcase new opportunities and provide connections to ongoing work through the Academy, our partners, and other alumni.
If you would prefer not to receive these newsletters, you can unsubscribe by following the relevant link within the newsletter, or by emailing the team.

We have co-developed our HIVE alumni programme in collaboration with representatives from across the Academy’s grant schemes and programmes, in order to ensure that what we offer matters to you. In keeping with this co-development ethos, we would love to hear from alumni who are interested in helping us continue to build our HIVE alumni programme into a unique and valuable support package – please contact AMS.HIVE@acmedsci.ac.uk.
