The Ideas Factory is about bringing a diverse group of academics together to debate and explore issues and ideally generate new and potential insightful research avenues. From the initial Ideas Factory event in January 2005, 20 selected participants spent four days discussing potential themes and ideas to take the programme forward. These participants are now working on inter-related projects to develop productivity and performance.
