I’m delighted to bring you the first edition of ‘World Changers; Celebrating Impactful Research’ – an essay collection that celebrates the transformative research taking place at the University of Leeds.
This collection is one of a kind. Written exclusively by early-career researchers, it shines a light on incredible Leeds research that is helping reduce inequalities and improve the lives of people in our city, in the UK and around the world.
