00:00:04.585 --> 00:00:07.605
The Social Sciences Connect Programme is an amazing opportunity

2
00:00:07.835 --> 00:00:11.285
for the faculty and the University of Warwick.

3
00:00:11.435 --> 00:00:13.165
It's all about bringing people together.

4
00:00:13.455 --> 00:00:17.165
Those big questions that we need to address

5
00:00:18.525 --> 00:00:20.965
for regional, national, international policy.

6
00:00:21.755 --> 00:00:25.285
They need answers that cover multiple subject areas.

7
00:00:25.745 --> 00:00:27.045
So we need to make sure

8
00:00:27.045 --> 00:00:29.765
that we are bringing our researchers together

9
00:00:29.765 --> 00:00:31.405
in that interdisciplinary space

10
00:00:31.945 --> 00:00:34.245
to answer those key questions.

11
00:00:34.245 --> 00:00:36.005
The Connect Programme demonstrates how we are fostering

12
00:00:36.005 --> 00:00:37.605
curiosity and creativity

13
00:00:38.065 --> 00:00:40.045
and creating a lasting impact for years to come.

14
00:00:40.215 --> 00:00:42.045
We'll equip our students, researchers,

15
00:00:42.105 --> 00:00:44.885
and partners to tackle the urgent

16
00:00:45.165 --> 00:00:46.565
global challenges of today and tomorrow.

17
00:00:46.985 --> 00:00:48.285
The Connect Programme is going to put

18
00:00:48.285 --> 00:00:50.805
inclusive economic growth at the right to the center

19
00:00:50.865 --> 00:00:54.565
of what we do, working with industry policy makers, funders,

20
00:00:54.565 --> 00:00:56.565
and communities, to really think about

21
00:00:56.745 --> 00:00:59.485
how we can take the West Midlands, support the strengths

22
00:00:59.485 --> 00:01:01.925
that we already see here and take them to the next level.

23
00:01:01.995 --> 00:01:03.965
What makes Social Sciences at Warwick

24
00:01:04.025 --> 00:01:06.685
so impactful is fundamentally our people.

25
00:01:07.155 --> 00:01:10.405
It's our world leading top class academics.

26
00:01:10.405 --> 00:01:13.125
But the Connect Programme is yes, partly people,

27
00:01:13.635 --> 00:01:14.725
it's partly research,

28
00:01:14.985 --> 00:01:19.845
but it's also about educating the next generation.

29
00:01:19.855 --> 00:01:21.685
2025 marks 60 years of the University of Warwick

30
00:01:22.025 --> 00:01:24.125
and this investment reaffirms our commitment

31
00:01:24.385 --> 00:01:26.885
to making a better world together through our research,

32
00:01:27.435 --> 00:01:28.965
education, and innovation.
