Join the second stage of our research sandpit, an exciting event to encourage lateral thinking and radical approaches to address the most pressing industrial challenges in the UK.

In Stage 2 of the sandpit, we move the focus to industry collaborations by connecting academics and business leaders to share knowledge and explore how interdisciplinary research can tackle real-world challenges.

Hosted by the University's Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) and organised by the Management School, this sandpit has been designed to foster interdisciplinary academic-industry partnerships and innovative research to achieve the government’s growth mission outlined in the Invest 2035: the UK's modern industrial strategy.

The sandpit comprises two events, with the first one in early May open to HSS researchers and the second welcoming industry leaders in early June (see website for further details).
