The Summer School is returning for 2016

The Grand Challenges Research Summer School is returning for its third year, from 31 May to 2 June 2016. This three-day course is perfect for UCL research students who want to learn more about cross-disciplinary research, funding opportunities and engaging with policy makers.

If you want to get a flavour of the previous summer school events, take a look at the photo galleries, or the previous post.

The final programme for 2016 is currently being developed and will be confirmed soon. Last year’s programme included:

• The UCL Grand Challenges
• The Research Councils’ agendas
• The academic discussion of cross-disciplinarity
• Creating impact from research
• The EU research agenda
• Presentations about cross-disciplinary research projects in 2015 included:
  • Doing video-ethnographic research in the operating theatre
  • Do the suburbs exist? an interdisciplinary perspective
  • Making Communities Resilient
  • Black geographies and public histories
