Science has always guided societal progress, inspiring us to dream bigger. We support fundamental research, essential to our cutting-edge scientific expertise, scientific and technological advances, and to deliver the highest level of teaching. Equally, we value the application of science in addressing the societal and cultural challenges we face.
