Winners 2012/13
As part of the Plymouth University Festival of Research, the Vice-Chancellor presented seven community groups with awards to the value of £50,000. These funds will be spent on the research ideas put forward by the community and developed into projects alongside university researchers.
Over 100 members of the community and university researchers filled the Jill Craigie Cinema to view three short films documenting the research ideas of 22 of the groups that submitted proposals. After presentation of the awards, the final film explored the legacy of the scheme through interviews with Ian Sherriff for his work with dementia sufferers funded in 2008 and Angela Rippon.
