About the campaign
Some questions are so vast, they can seem overwhelming.
How do we cope with an ever-ageing population? What will it take to eradicate poverty? Why can’t we find better treatments for cancer?
These are just a few examples of substantial questions, on which depend the well-being of millions. They seem daunting, but we know we need to find some answers to these questions, and many others, soon. We’re convinced we can make a major difference.
To tackle such complex questions quickly, we need to significantly expand our work. We need more specialist researchers; more experts; the brightest students; and the space and tools for them to excel. With philanthropic support, we can bring more exceptional minds together and eliminate the barriers they face.
King’s has taken up the challenge to effect major change in three areas by 2015: Neuroscience & mental health, Leadership & society and Cancer.
World questions | King’s answers will raise funds to make progress on complex issues like these by funding new academic posts and programmes, building new facilities and creating new student opportunities across our campuses. By bringing exceptional minds together we can achieve real change by 2015.
At King’s, we’ve made a commitment to finding answers. With your help, we can raise £500 million by 2015 to achieve real change.
