"This is the third and final year of the Research Challenges scheme, which has been funded by the Provost's Strategic Development Fund. Over the three years we have funded 18 seed projects, with a total value of 拢150,000. Many of these are still in progress, several having found further funding from other sources.

Previous projects have included a London language database covering the 232 languages in use in the capital and an Open Source Spatial Modelling Platform for Integrated Water Resource Management.
