Bringing together researchers across Imperial, UCL and King’s, the London Centre for Nanotechnology has spent the last 20 years driving collaborative research at the nanoscale. We spoke with Co-Director Professor Sandrine Heutz about the Centre’s evolution, its impact, and the future of nanoscience in London.
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.
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.
The latest Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) data show Science and Engineering South (SES) universities’ impact on academic research, society and the economy.
The panel members for the criteria-setting phase of REF 2029 (Research Excellence Framework) were announced in September this year. SES representation across every Main Panel and Sub-panel highlights the outstanding research capability, diversity, and expertise of our universities
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.
More than a third of the impact generated by King’s College London’s knowledge exchange and research activities occurred outside the capital, a report by London Economics reveals.
More than a third of the identifiable regional-based impact generated by Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) occurred outside of the capital, a report by independent consultants reveals
Almost half of the identifiable regional-based impact generated by the University of Cambridge occurred outside the east of England, a report by independent consultants reveals.
More than a third of the identifiable regional-based impact generated by the University of Southampton occurred outside the south east of England, a report by independent consultants reveals.
Quality-related research funding has been described by the Russell Group of universities as “the invisible force holding up the UK’s research ecosystem”.
