The Hosts
For 575 years, the University of Glasgow and its inspiring people have been changing the world, from Adam Smith laying the foundations of modern economics and James Watt powering the industrial revolution, to Ian Donald producing the first ultrasound image of a foetus and Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovering radio pulsars.
Today, that legacy continues through six cross-disciplinary areas of world-class research: addressing inequalities, cultural and creative economies, precision medicine and chronic diseases, one health, future life, and the nano and quantum world, each combining a drive to push the boundaries of knowledge with a commitment to positive impact. But changing the world goes beyond discoveries and technology:
Glasgow has nurtured influential political leaders, award-winning writers and human rights activists, and remains a place where the synergy between research and teaching inspires ambitious people to develop their ideas and realise their dreams. Above all, we are open to the world, welcoming the brightest minds regardless of background, and embracing collaboration and knowledge exchange with universities, governments and businesses, as we remain dedicated to bringing inspiring people together to change the world.
