The annual Research Festival returns for the fifth year to celebrate collaboration across academia, policy and industry, responding to the theme: a systems-thinking approach to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
- Are coastal communities receiving the research and investment they need?
- How do universities progress policy and action in the clean growth agenda?
- How do we ensure a resilient, future-ready NHS?
- What role do the Arts have in achieving greater research impact?
These are some of the questions our world-leading academic community and key partner organisations will venture into.
We welcome insightful perspectives from influential keynote speakers, including Dr Rita Gardner, Chief Executive of the Academy of Social Sciences; Michael Lewis, CEO of E.ON; Sir Harry Studholme, former chairman of the UK Forestry Commission; and members of UK Government.
