Research excellence within disciplines and interdisciplinary teams are at the heart of the university’s strategy and are helping Glasgow to address global challenges. In 2013 the university’s Boyd Orr Centre won a Queen’s Anniversary Prize for its impact on tackling infectious diseases that blight agricultural communities in the UK and in many developing countries. In the most recent assessment of research quality in UK universities, 31% of the university’s research was rated world-leading and a further 50% rated internationally excellent.
