Top stories of 2023: Funding Insight

A selection of articles from 2023 that may help plot a path into 2024

Next week, Funding Insight will see in the new year in traditional style by publishing the prophecies of occasional columnist Phil Ward, director of the Eastern Arc consortium. We admit that Ward’s crystal ball has not always been 100 per cent reliable. Maybe it’s too finely tuned; it tends to foresee events, like the UK’s association with Horizon Europe, happening further into the future than they appear. So it is perhaps wise to ground ourselves in the certainty of the past before launching ourselves into the future.

Here, then, are 10 articles published in Funding Insight in 2023, selected both for their pertinence to the funding trends of the previous 12 months but also, hopefully, their continued relevance in 2024.
