IAS Programmes

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

Research Summits

The IAS presents a new programme launching in the 2024-25 academic year, 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.
