Academic publisher SAGE has announced that entries to the Research Project of the Year at the Times Higher Awards 2008 are more than 50 percent higher than in 2007. The award, sponsored by SAGE, received 53 entries from over 30 institutions across the UK.
The Research Project of the Year is awarded for innovative research that has a far-reaching impact on its field and has caught, or has the potential to catch, the imagination of the public. Results will be announced at an awards ceremony on October 23, 2008.
The diversity of the UK's research output is strongly acknowledged in the breadth of disciplines covered in this year's entries. Ranging from art to health sciences, psychology and engineering, the entries underline the many different ways in which research contributes to the cultural and economic health of Britain.
