Abstract

“The Impact of Impact: The future of science funding” Date: 30th May 2013
5.15pm Location: Riley Auditorium, Clare College, Cambridge

As Government spending becomes increasingly restricted the science budget is stretched to capacity. In these difficult economic times how should we spend our limited resources? This event aims to explore the different aspects of science funding and how we quantify success; is it the aim of science funding to produce new economic value or to inspire the next generation of scientists?

Speakers include: Prof David Delpy, Chief Executive of the EPRSC Prof Athene Donald DBE FRS , Professor of Experimental Physics at University of Cambridge Prof Richard Wiseman, Professor of Public Understanding at University of Hertfordshire Prof David Cardwell, Professor of Superconducting Engineering at University of Cambridge To find out more about the topic, our speakers and to sign up online check out our website www.cuspe.org
