UCL Research Frontiers
As part of its 2011 Research Strategy, UCL is launching Research Frontiers, a new cross-disciplinary activity to complement our four UCL Grand Challenges.
We value research addressing the most fundamental questions in our collaborative endeavours and are developing a UCL Research Frontiers programme of cross-disciplinary enquiry motivated mainly by shared human curiosity.
We seek to empower research leaders to develop and test novel ideas:
- where the primary justification for the enquiry is human curiosity
- in subjects where cross-disciplinary input adds value to the investigation
- where the results do not necessarily have any immediate application.
UCL Research Froniters' initial three programmes are Origins of Life, Human Evolution and Dynamics of Civilisation; in the medium term we will invite research pioneers to propose new activity, ultimately developing a portfolio of 10–12 programmes.
