Welcome to the University of Warwick Coventry & Warwickshire Champions celebrating 5 years (congratulations!) Being a proud Brummie (?) – and a regular in the Holte End – it also means I’m committed to developing stronger connections in and with Birmingham. As it is now less than 100 days to the Mayoral elections – Delighted to be part of today’s event, sharing Coventry and Warwickshire’s story and reaching out to Birmingham and rest of the West Midlands. 18th International Workshop on Next Generation Nucleon Decay and Neutrino Detectors

We’re a world-leading university with the highest academic and research standards. Our students, alumni and staff are driven towards making an impact. We’ve a reputation for uncovering new ways to make things happen. But we’re not prepared to let the story end there.

Thanks to a partnership between the City of Coventry and the County of Warwickshire, we were born out of boldness, imagination and collaboration. And from the moment our first 450 students arrived on our 400-acre campus is 1965, we’ve been forward focused ever since.
