The IAS aims to support both focused and wide-ranging research initiatives across the breadth of the University.
Research Summits

These are opportunities for academic colleagues from both Loughborough and London campuses to bring leading international scholars – academics, policy-makers, artists, activists and/or public intellectuals, for a week-long research forum setting an international agenda in thought leadership.
