Returning for the second year, the annual festival showcases the outstanding research carried out by staff at the University in collaboration with colleagues and partners locally, nationally and internationally.
Creating an impact from local to global.
Celebrate a rich research landscape with world-leading academics and experts, gaining an insight into the cutting edge research that impacts our world – from the social to the economic, cultural to environmental, medical and beyond.
Can we change the world one person at a time?
What does a suitcase full of eels have to do with sustainability?
How do we create and maintain healthy landscapes?
These are just some of the questions our academics will delve into, responding to real-world challenges with applied research.
We invite academics, partners, businesses, students, and the public to sample a diverse programme that spans a breadth of fascinating research projects.
Listen to top keynote speakers from National Geographic, Innovate UK, CBI, Eden Project, Environment Agency and more, and also learn about collaborative opportunities, available funding, and how your work could benefit from new, innovative research practices.
