As a research-intensive university with an international reputation, the work of Reading academics brings real benefits to society and has world impact.
We want to share that expertise, providing information, analysis and commentary from our researchers to the wider public. We also want to stimulate online debate, bringing fresh ideas and different points of view to key issues.
The Forum features a series of articles, regularly updated, from academics across the University, from the arts, humanities and science.
This is your opportunity to find out about the breadth and depth of our expertise and make your contribution to the debate.
