Chaired by the Rt Hon Lord (David) Willetts, Chairman of the Foundation for Science and Technology

There has been an increasing focus on interdisciplinary research in recent years, and many current key policy challenges (including climate change, post-covid recovery, economic security, migration, and healthcare) need evidence from interdisciplinary research. As the science budget increases over the coming years, and UKRI announce their allocations, what do we need to do to increase interdisciplinary research in the UK?

The webinar will be 90 minutes long (6:00 – 7:30pm) and will be streamed on YouTube. There will be presentations from each of the three speakers and a Q&A panel session with the speakers forming a panel. The Chair will take questions from both the online and in-person audiences. Questions will be taken via Slido.

Please note that unlike previous events, this will not be streamed as a Zoom webinar.
