World-famous for its research, The University of Cambridge has maintained a leading position through a consistent level of excellence and a pipeline of research income totaling more than $450 million. This considerable investment from research councils, charities, industry, the European Commission, the Founding Council (HEFCE), other Government Departments and other sources abroad helps Cambridge continue to cultivate a premier environment for researchers – and is a testament to the University’s academic staff and its ability to win funding in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
