Funding on the up

October 1st, 2010

Funding for world-leading research has reached £150m for the first time.

The international reputation of the University’s research in energy, drug discovery, global food security, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, integrating global society, biomedical imaging and many other areas has helped to push research funding at Nottingham to unprecedented levels.

The total of more than £150m received for the academic year 2009-10 represents an increase of 7.2 per cent on the previous year’s figure — a resounding endorsement of the University’s reputation as a centre of research excellence.

Prof Bob Webb, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, said: “This is a significant milestone for the University in terms of our research profile and the success of our world-class research teams across all five faculties.”
