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.
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
The job of curating and sharing research data is vital, but it has traditionally fallen to different groups of people. At UCL a dedicated team of Research Data Stewards has been assembled to work across a range of projects and services, as James Wilson explains.
With a growing recognition of the technical skills needed to underpin modern research, a project has been launched to support a community of professionals with these skills. Jeremy Cohen describes STEP-UP and how it will give this community the infrastructure they deserve.
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.
Some 4,000 students will benefit from a £1bn investment in doctoral training centres for engineering and physical sciences, with SES members lead partners in almost a third of them.
Our partner universities are at the cutting edge of research. They constantly strive to create environments where new ideas can flourish, and innovation is second nature.
Spin-outs have the potential to redefine how research, patient care and product development is handled in the future. Find out about SES members’ spin-out activities.
Looking beyond SES members’ excellent performance in REF 2021 to their case studies reveals the positive impact their research is having. Here are some examples.
UCL’s social and economic impact is £9.9bn per year and is felt across the whole UK, according to an independent report.
When research technology professionals work with your team it makes for ‘happy researchers’ delegates at a SES event heard last month.
