2023 - Changemakers
‘Changemakers’ is about using research-based knowledge and creativity to solve the political, social, environmental and technical challenges that confront us. The definition of a changemaker is someone who takes creative action to solve a problem. Researchers are at the forefront of this movement, however, a more coordinated team effort, involving researchers, artists and the community are required if we are to succeed.
