'Growing Up Multicultural' workshop - UCL Grand Challenges

UCL Grand Challenges are cross-disciplinary research-related initiatives at UCL, London’s Global University, intended to benefit the world. Since the programme was established in 2009,the Grand Challenges approachhas brought together expertise from across the entire University along with external partners, to address some of the most pressing problems facing our planet.The UCL Grand Challenges have supported UCL researchers to begin new and intense collaborations across a whole range of disciplines at the university. At the same time, the programme’s ultimate purpose is to see knowledge generated by research and scholarship at UCL achieve real-world influence. This is an ongoing process and may include scholarly outputs, public engagement, commercial activity, influence on public policy and more.
