About the event
This lecture will explore the importance of building a stronger identity for research and innovation in public life.
We're excited to welcome Kim Shillinglaw, Chair of CaSE's new Discovery Decade project, who will share reflections on the public's relationship with science in the UK, and the urgency of forging a deeper and broader public connection to put research and innovation at the heart of the UK's future.
After the lecture, refreshments and an opportunity to continue the discussion with fellow attendees will be provided.
The lecture will be held in the University's Regent Street Cinema, but there is also the option to watch a live stream of the lecture if you are unable to attend in person.
