University of Bristol - Ensuring a less risky future

In a novel move to encourage research into the world's greatest risks, AXA Insurance Group has awarded funding for research into climate change to the University of Bristol. The newly created AXA Research Fund will award 1100 million (£78 million) over five years to finance innovative research in Europe. Bristol's Steve Murray was one of 16 PhD students in institutions across Europe to benefit from the new funding.
