The UK Research and Innovation is a new body which works in partnership with universities, research organisations, businesses, charities, and government to create the best possible environment for research and innovation. Operating across the whole of the UK with a combined budget of more than £6 billion, UK Research and Innovation brings together the seven Research Councils, Innovate UK and a new organisation, Research England.
Through my work at Nucco Brain I produced a series of short live action films on their Future Leaders Fellowship which supports outstanding early career researchers and innovators. This film features Dr Katie Field, University of Leeds as she discusses the importance of the Future Leaders Fellowship in her work in plants and fungi to reduce our reliance on chemical fertilisers.
