Join university leaders, research champions and industry and government representatives online for this year’s UK Academic Salon.
The UK government has set out ambitious plans to strengthen Britain’s position as a science and technology superpower that carries out world-leading research to both support its global influence and benefit from it.
At this year’s salon, we will challenge the current climate for research by asking what role higher education and industry must play in supporting “Global Britain’s” agenda and why collaboration must be front and centre to deliver on the UK’s plans for equitable growth.
