Thanks to generous gifts from corporations, trusts and foundations, and individual donors, philanthropy is enabling the establishment of new research posts across UCL. These gifts support research teams to overcome existing funding constraints and provide greater financial security so that research projects can excel.
Philanthropically funded Chairs, Fellows and research support posts add excellence to our core research power.

HORIBA, a Japanese manufacturer, is the global leader in vehicle propulsion measurement and testing systems. The new HORIBA Chair, to be recruited in 2022-23, will drive innovations in research techniques within the UCL APL.
They will help to train the next generation of specialist scientist and engineers to accelerate the move away from fossil fuels to clean energy transport options, in line with UCL’s goal to create a more sustainable world for everyone.
The new partnership between UCL and HORIBA brings together the knowledge, skills, experience and facilities to ensure that we remain at the forefront of delivering sustainable transport solutions.
