How we plan to enhance the ability of our academics with strategic operating plans.
Excellent life sciences research is delivered by outstanding scientists and scholars. Our actions must therefore support and enhance the ability of our academics to pursue excellent research, wherever possible unencumbered by unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles and in a sustainable fashion given the current adverse financial environment.
Sustainable world-class status requires a long-term commitment to impact. Already prominent (and successfully delivered) in REF 2014, we can expect this need to grow; and it is central to UCL’s ambition.
Our teaching and training is not just an end in itself, but serves as a way to transform society through developing a cadre of Life Sciences alumni who share our attitude and beliefs. This goal requires attracting the brightest and best students from across the world.
Partnerships are increasing integral to scientific research, teaching and enterprise both within UCL and between UCL and other partners. London is a life sciences hub, with significant investment in the planning period within UCL (e.g. Sainsbury Wellcome Centre) and external to UCL in major strategic initiatives such as the Francis Crick Institute, Tech City and physical sciences facilities at Harwell. The Faculty already has significant external partnerships with Birkbeck, the Zoological Society of London, Imanova and others.
