Sêr Cymru

We have attracted 12 Sêr Cymru chairs to Welsh Universities. We still fund 8 of these. All are continuing with ground-breaking research in their universities.

Sêr Cymru chairs:

• Professor Diana Huffaker
• Professor Paul Meredith
• Professor Dan Cacuci
• Professor Bill Lee
• Professor Simon Ward
• Professor John Atack
• Professor Peter Ghazal
• Professor Richard Lucas
• Professor Glyn Hewinson

There are 3 Sêr Cymru chairs who no longer funded by Welsh Government, but remain at the universities they came to:

• Professor Yves Barde
• Professor Andrew Barron
• Professor James Durrant FRS

Three National Research Networks were also funded under Sêr Cymru. Funding ceased in 2018. We hope that the institutions involved will continue to collaborate. We also hope they’ll use the experience and  contacts made through these networks.

National Research Networks:

• The National Research Network in Advanced Engineering
• The Life Sciences Research Network Wales
• The National Research Network for Low Carbon, Energy and Environment
