 A major milestone in the build of the UK's state-of-the-art polar research ship is reached this weekend (Saturday 14 July 2018), when the 129m-long, 10,000 tonne hull of the RRS Sir David Attenborough is launched into the River Mersey for the first time.
 For the first time, the UK and Germany have joined forces to investigate the impact of climate change on the Arctic Ocean.
 The investment will provide up to seven years of funding for early career researchers and innovators, including support for part-time awards and career breaks, providing flexibility to researchers to tackle ambitious and challenging research questions.
