Focus on the Positive puts university research in the audience’s hands

The world is full of problems, but it's also full of brilliant people, chipping away at those problems with their ideas and expertise. Focus on the Positive is an event which gives the audience a chance to choose how to improve the world. On 30 October at London's Phoenix Cavendish Square, they will meet some of UCL's inspiring researchers, who'll be pitching exactly how they want to tackle the big issues. With the help of the host, stand-up comedian Lloyd Langford (Ask Rhod Gilbert, Sony Award nominee 2011), the audience get to decide which project to fund. The winning idea, as voted for by the audience, wins £2000 in prize money to fix the world! They might suggest using the money for new research, to start a project or to work with a particular charity. A runner-up will receive £1000 prize to take their project forward. It's a great opportunity to debate some big questions, meet people who are passionate about changing the world for the better, and make a difference.
