Professor Nick Plant, Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Research and Innovation

At our recent Leeds Conversations events on Research Transformed, we received a number of questions along the key themes of funding, efficiencies and our new institutes.  

In this podcast we put your questions to Nick, including: 

  • Why are we transforming our research?  
  • What are the biggest challenges we face when implementing Research Transformed? 
  • How does Research Transformed fit with the University strategy? 
  • Where does fundamental research sit in Research Transformed? 
  • What does Research Transformed mean for career stability?  
  • When will we find out more about the horizon scanning activity? 

Nick also shares more information about our new institutes – the Horizon’s Institute and the four new Futures Institutes – their purpose, when they will launch and how they will complement our existing institutes.
