Project Description
The University of Birmingham is the lead on the UKRI Network Plus investment ‘Shifting Global Polarities’. The initiative brings together more than 30 leading experts globally, within academic and policy circles, to address research gaps and needs during a period of significant societal, geopolitical, and environmental change across Eurasia.
This project aims to produce a policy-focused report examining a thematic area of significance for the UK within the context of the Europe-Asia region. Potential foci include: cyber security, migration, digital technology, health services etc.
The final report would form a significant output for the Network and would be hosted on the Network website for wider dissemination.
