UCL Research Frontiers Contest results
6 November 2012
The results of the UCL Research Frontiers contest have been announced, celebrating the fact that curiosity-driven discovery and analysis has been a feature of UCL from its foundation.
UCL staff, students and alumni were invited by the Office of the UCL Vice-Provost (Research) to submit works reflecting on individuals, groups or units associated with UCL from 1826 to the present day that have exemplified the curiosity-driven, cross-disciplinary, pioneering nature of the activity we seek to generate through UCL Research Frontiers.
