    IMMUNE HOMEOSTASIS FUNDED PROJECTS FROM THE INNOVATION WORKSHOP 18-20 JULY 2017 AIMS THE SANDPIT PROCESS CAN BE BROKEN DOWN The immune system continues to intrigue and test us: as we get closer to finding ways of harnessing or modulating immune responses, new and unexpected consequences and INTO SEVERAL STAGES: challenges present themselves, often testing even our most fundamental understanding. Cancer Research UK and Arthritis Research UK came together to engage the research community to tackle the specific challenge of understanding how the immune system regulates itself under normal physiological conditions (immune homeostasis), how it is • Defining the scope of the challenge dysregulated in different diseases and how we can stimulate the immune response to prevent • Sharing understanding of the challenge and expertise brought to the sandpit by or treat disease (immunotherapy). participants We brought together researchers and clinicians in the fields of inflammatory disease, cancer, • Evolving common languages and terminologies amongst people from a diverse theoretical physics, computational medicine and other areas, whose expertise could be applied range of backgrounds and disciplines to the key questions concerning immune homeostasis. This workshop encouraged participants from a diverse range of backgrounds to melt barriers, develop a common language to promote • Breaking down preconceptions of researchers and stakeholders collaboration, and suggest new ways to harness the immune system to treat disease. • Taking part in break-out sessions focussed on challenges, using creative thinking techniques Director • Capturing outputs in the form of highly innovative feasibility study proposals The role of the Director was to work with the facilitators to lead the event and guide the process • A funding decision on those proposals at the sandpit, using “real time” peer-review.

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 Abstract This thesis argues that real-life forgery cases significantly shaped the form of Victorian fiction. Forgeries of bills of exchange, wills, parish registers or other documents were depicted in at least one hundred novels between 1846 and 1879. Many of these portrayals were inspired by celebrated real-life forgery cases. Forgeries are fictions, and Victorian fiction’s representations of forgery were often self- reflexive. Chapter one establishes the historical, legal and literary contexts for forgery in the Victorian period. Chapter two demonstrates how real-life forgers prompted Victorian fiction to explore its ambivalences about various conceptions of realist representation. Chapter three shows how real-life forgers enabled Victorian fiction to develop the genre of sensationalism. Chapter four investigates how real-life forgers influenced fiction’s questioning of its epistemological status in Victorian culture.

  • King's College London Is One of the Top 25 Universities in the World (2016/17 QS World University Rankings) and Among the Oldest in England
    RCUK CSF Annual Report 2016/17: King’s College London TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Executive Summary 2. Context 3. Distinctiveness of the project 4. Outputs, outcomes and impact 5. Sustainability plans 6. Case studies and stories of change 7. Conclusions 8. Appendix 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2016, King’s launched its Strategic Vision 2029, outlining the universities five strategic priorities: Education, Research, Service, London and International. Core to that vision is King’s connectivity with the world around us – locally, nationally and internationally. In 2011, King’s took a new and innovative approach to external engagement, moving from a conventional centralised unit with responsibility for public engagement to a model in which specialist hubs, at the interface between King’s and the communities around it, broker and enable two-way engagement. The work enabled by the CSF should be seen in this context as enabling and supporting the university’s approach to embedding engagement within research and the wider university strategies from the bottom-up. One of these hubs is the university’s Science Gallery London which, along with the funds from RCUK, has been a significant catalyst for change over the last two years. Together, through initiatives developed across the two years of CSF funding, such as our cost recovery model for PE support, Impact and Engagement Services, we have successfully integrated public engagement support within the research management process. Linking Impact and Engagement Services to King’s Vision 2029 has ensured continued support for engagement. A new innovation promotional pathway, established in the second year of funding, has provided a new mechanism for rewarding researcher involvement in public engagement.
