Science & Engineering South (SES) partner Imperial College London brought together founders, investors and researchers for ChemEng Enterprise Day 2026, showcasing a growing pipeline of deep-tech ventures from its Department of Chemical Engineering.
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.
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.
The latest Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) data show Science and Engineering South (SES) universities’ impact on academic research, society and the economy.
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.
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
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.
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.
