Thank you for your interest in taking part in this research as part of the Grand Challenges programme

This research is being carried out by students as part of our Grand Challenges programme at the University of Exeter.

What is Grand Challenges about?

Grand Challenges is designed to provide undergraduate students at the University of Exeter with the opportunity to work in interdisciplinary research groups. Students work with our top academics along with inspirational world leading experts to produce solutions and ideas to address some of the key challenges of our time. Each group of students produces an output that is presented to other students at the end of the week. In the past, students have created a variety of outputs including presentations, posters, policy documents, videos and social media campaigns. Quotes and statistics collected as part of this research may be included in the students’ final output.
