The UK’s most powerful quantum computer will be based at the University of Cambridge. It is part of a major new partnership with IonQ, the University’s largest corporate research collaboration.

We put a spotlight on the London Quantum Technology Cluster. An initiative supported by City Hall to establish the capital as a leading global centre for quantum innovation.

Uniting UCL, Imperial College London, and King’s College London, the cluster brings together world-class research institutions with industry, government, investors, and local communities to accelerate the growth of this rapidly evolving sector.

Academics from SES partner universities have been named among the inaugural Fellows of the UK’s new Academy for the Mathematical Sciences, highlighting the region’s strength and national impact.

The Academy brings together leaders from academia, industry, education, and government to advance priorities such as AI, climate, health, security, and quantum technologies.

A new study from Queen Mary University of London and University College London shows that humans can detect objects buried in sand before touching them – a form of “remote touch” previously seen in animals like sandpipers.

Hundreds of experts gathered for the first time to explore how artificial intelligence can responsibly shape the future of education and publishing at Cambridge University.

Researchers from Science and Engineering South (SES) universities are among this year’s recipients of the prestigious Philip Leverhulme Prizes, recognising exceptional academic talent and innovation across the UK.

Science Engineering South universities play a leading role across all four Main Panels and 34 Sub-panels of REF 2029, with representation that stretches from medicine and engineering to the sciences, social sciences, and humanities.

Researchers at Imperial College London have developed Roliner, a revolutionary new material that allows amputees to adjust the fit of their prosthetic limb liners.

Almost half of UK higher education and research’s contribution to the national economy come from institutions based in England’s Greater Southeast.

Our members’ research excellence extends over many different fields, but a data analysis we commissioned shows some clear strengths.

Universities are regional anchors and integral to their ‘place’ with many examples of collaborating on scientific research with communities. Here are some recent community-led research activities by our members.

Universities and the ground-breaking research from their dedicated teams have long influenced the conversations and change connected to COP. Here are highlights from some of our members’ COP-related research and activities.
