Universities UK is working with the higher education sector to co-ordinate an innovative new pilot project this June.

Universities Week 2010: What’s the big idea? will challenge public misconceptions and highlight the essential role of our universities, including their impact on local and national economies, culture, sport, health, the environment and much more.  The campaign will centre on a week of activity involving universities across the UK, taking place from 14-20 June 2010.

From the training of teachers, doctors and sports professionals; to the development of future fuels, miracle medicines, new technologies, or improved food nutrition – together these stories build a picture of the many and surprising ways that our students, academics and staff make a difference in the UK.
