We're ESRC-official 👇🙂 beyond excited that I get to work on these ideas with a group of fantastic colleagues
We're investing £13 million in six new ambitious research projects that will help address pressing issues - from climate resilience to conflict resolution, health and justice to economic inequalities. More: ukri.org/news/esrc-invests-1…
ALT ESRC Executive Chair Stian Westlake said: These large-scale projects bring together world class researchers to address important, global issues that affect some of the world’s most vulnerable people. The projects are a great example of how the ideas and inspiration of social science researchers can help shape our thinking on long-term societal challenges.
