Big Ideas for the Future, call for submissions

As part of Universities Week 2011 (13-19 June), Research Councils UK (RCUK) and Universities UK (UUK) are seeking submissions for ‘Big Ideas for the Future’. The project is exploring research currently taking place in universities that is likely to have a major impact on the UK and the world in the future. 

All research organisations are invited to submit ideas and suggestions can be from any academic discipline including the arts and humanities, medical and biological sciences, astronomy, physics, chemistry, engineering, social sciences, and environmental sciences. The only rule is that the research must be happening now or imminently and it must be something that will result in a real impact on people’s lives. 


The deadline for submissions is 14 April 2011.  For more information on what/how/when to submit visit RCUK
