Tomorrow! In person at university of Glasgow and online

Hetan Shah, chief executive of the British Academy, said: "Whatever form it takes, whether foundational, mission-led or focused on innovation, research is vital to the UK's prosperity and international standing. The humanities and social sciences are central to this, helping us understand people, places and systems so new ideas can have real-world impact."
