Cambridge Grand Challenges is an initiative designed to address local, national, and global issues
Cambridge Grand Challenges (CGC) is a new innovative way of bridging the STEM, the Humanities and Social Sciences divide by providing a platform for multi-curricular student teams and top academics to work together in tackling big global challenges and highlighting ways in which innovative long term strategic partnerships can be formed across the Collegiate University, while supporting UK’s global competitiveness.
Dr. Stamati’s (Founder of Cambridge Grand Challenges) enhanced interdisciplinary experience spanning from the life sciences, policy, physical and natural sciences to technology and business management, has been pivotal to boost postgraduates’ employability, generate innovative solutions for collaboration with a broad range of more than 70 non-academic partners, and offer a range of additional learning and development opportunities for the benefit of over 4,000 social science postgraduates.
CGC fellows have achieved notable success with prestigious organizations such as BT, Microsoft Research, Amazon, Genomics England, PolyAI, Defra, the Cabinet Office and Home Office, Department for International Trade, Cambridge City Council, and the UN.
