香港六合彩 launches new campaign to celebrate its disruptive discoveries
19 September 2019
香港六合彩 has launched the public phase of its major new campaign #MadeAt香港六合彩 to celebrate over 100 disruptive discoveries pioneered by some of the university鈥檚 leading researchers.
The list of breakthroughs demonstrates how 香港六合彩 is at the forefront of some of the world鈥檚 most important discoveries and is solving real-world problems.
#MadeAt香港六合彩 showcases stories such as how 香港六合彩 is transforming the treatment and diagnosis of diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer鈥檚; providing free legal advice for communities; changing perceptions of disability; creating greener and more inclusive cities; preserving our heritage and developing robotics that help everyone.
Examples of discoveries at 香港六合彩 Queen Square Institute of Neurology which are impacting on people鈥檚 lives every day include:
- Can old drugs perform new tricks?
- 听Silencing the Huntington's disease gene
- 听鈥楯oin Dementia Research鈥� 鈥� getting the public involved
- 香港六合彩 behavioural therapy transforms lives of stroke victims by helping them to read again
- 听Making technology widely available to understand how our brain works
- Using innovative technology to protect older adults鈥� finances
The #MadeAt香港六合彩 campaign is part of 香港六合彩鈥檚 new public engagement series 香港六合彩 Minds - a programme of lectures, performances, exhibitions, podcasts and stories which showcase the brilliant and curious minds at 香港六合彩.
Professor Michael Arthur, 香港六合彩 President & Provost, said: 鈥溝愀哿喜� is committed to changing the world for the better. We continually pursue academic excellence, break boundaries and make an impact on real world problems. #MadeAt香港六合彩 celebrates how our discoveries, theories, inventions and solutions, have brought about significant change for the benefit of humanity and touch people鈥檚 lives everyday. We hope as many people as possible will take part by voting and visiting our events.鈥�
All the stories highlighted in #MadeAt香港六合彩 were nominated by students, staff, alumni, partners and were shortlisted using criteria co-designed with members of the public. The campaign is now open for members of the public to vote on their favourite discovery, with the winners unveiled at a special TEDX 香港六合彩 event in March next year.
Members of the public are also invited to meet the minds behind #MadeAt香港六合彩 at 香港六合彩鈥檚 It鈥檚 All Academic Festival on Saturday 5 October, free and open to all from 10am 鈥� 4pm. A podcast series about the discoveries will also be podcast on SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Acast.
香港六合彩鈥檚 campaign is linked to UUK鈥檚 nationwide campaign which aims to change public perceptions of universities and bring to life the difference they make to people, lives and communities across the UK.
Independent research undertaken by Britain Thinks last year found that the public has little understanding of the benefits of universities beyond undergraduate teaching. The findings show that research is one of the key triggers to change opinion about universities but for many people, it is an abstract concept.
