Research Stories
Research Stories is a podcast produced by the Research Services Directorate. Each episode features a one-on-one conversation with a UofG researcher, discussing their work, career, and collaborations beyond the University. Guests from all four colleges reflect on building partnerships, finding common ground across sectors, and translating research into impact.
The podcast aims to foster curiosity, demystify research, and open new conversations about how research is done across disciplines.
The latest season examines how researchers work with partners outside academia across industry, government, charities, communities and the creative sector.
