# Research Lunch Club

> Research Lunch Club matches you with two other researchers in your city each month for a small-group, in-person lunch. It runs in 17 cities across the UK, Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania, and costs about the price of a coffee per quarter. Operated by People of Research Limited.

## Key facts

- **What it is:** A membership that pairs you with 2 other researchers in your city for an in-person lunch, once a month (groups of three).
