UL Research Week provides a fascinating insight into the diverse range of excellent fundamental and multidisciplinary research that is being carried out across the university.

The week-long series of events highlights the excellent research that impacts our society at a local, national and international level.

There is also a focus on the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead in the research landscape.

Research Week is underpinned by our research strategy Wisdom for Action, whose mission is to build a vibrant community where research excellence is valued, supported and central to all facets of our organisation.

Looking forward to seeing you at many of the events taking place beginning on Monday, 29 April.
