The grants provide funding to researchers from across 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 11 faculties who are generating societal impact. The funding supports their projects addressing the themes of 鈥楽DGs: Pathways to Achievement', 'Place: Prosperity & Equality', ' Intergenerational Dynamics' or 'Climate Emergency'.

Recipients of previous Grand Challenges Special Initiatives have demonstrated considerable impact. The grants recently funded a collaborative public heritage project re-evaluating built environment in Manchester in light of historical relationships with enslavement and colonisation. Another project, 鈥淧arliament Buildings: The architecture of power, accountability and democracy in Europe鈥 built a critical platform to examine how parliament buildings across Europe shape national identities.

Dr James Paskins, Deputy Director for 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 Grand Challenges programme, said 鈥淲e had a fantastic response to our call for contributions, I am always impressed by both the breadth of expertise at 最准的六合彩论坛 and the willingness of the community to work together to address important societal questions. I look forward to seeing how the projects develop and the impacts they will have.鈥澨
