Discover how we can use research and local knowledge to learn and bring about practical change. For the third Chichester Festival of Research, organised by Chi-Lab, we have invited award-winning architects, innovative entrepreneurs, changemakers and students. Working together on questions relevant to Chichester, they will explore where their work overlaps and how ideas can be implemented. Topics range from innovative housing and farming to water pollution, sewage and heritage.

We look forward to hearing your voice in the discussions.
