Crucible

Day-to-day researchers face demanding challenges in their own fields. But what about the wider world? What about more complex challenges that can't be solved by one discipline alone?

NESTA has developed the Crucible programme to bring bright thinkers together and see the bigger picture.

Crucible aims to help early career researchers to discover:

• how other early to mid-career researchers are tackling the same issues as them
• how they can transfer their knowledge to the public sphere to make an impact
• the skills and attitudes that are likely to make their research more innovative
• how thinking creatively can make a difference to their work and career

The challenges facing society today require people from different disciplines to collaborate and think outside the box. This film explains the main features of the programme
