Humanities-STEM collaborative projects

The IAS, UCL’s Cities partnerships Programme and Université PSL (Paris Sciences et Lettres) are funding four new collaborative research projects of three years that include a focus on the arts, humanities and social sciences or interdisciplinary projects between these areas and the natural sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics. Projects will bring together academic staff and doctoral students from across UCL and PSL member institutions.
