King’s College London has partnered with the ETERON Institute for Research and Social Change to launch a new academic initiative exploring the intersection of industrial policy and just taxation in Europe. Titled Reclaiming Europe’s Industrial Policy Through Just Taxation and Innovation, the project invites researchers to apply for €5,000 research grants.

The collaboration, inspired by the influential reports of Mario Draghi and Enrico Letta, aligns with the United Kingdom’s “Invest 2035” strategy. It aims to support innovative research in the fields of Political Economy, Political Theory, and Economics, focusing on sustainable and equitable industrial development.

Dr Georgios Samaras, Assistant Professor of Public Policy at King’s and principal investigator of the project, said the initiative represents a valuable opportunity for interdisciplinary research. “It offers a significant opportunity for researchers across various disciplines to contribute to high-quality academic outputs,” he noted.

Christos Papagiannis, Director of the ETERON Institute, emphasised the importance of cross-national collaboration. “The challenges confronting Greece, the United Kingdom, and Europe require unprecedented collaboration. Universities and research organisations must foster such partnerships to deliver ambitious and equitable solutions,” he said.

This UK-based research partnership reinforces the country’s commitment to global academic leadership and policy innovation.

In another major academic development, the European Research Council has awarded €2 million to a King’s-led project under the UKRI Horizon Europe guarantee. The Computational Corpus Annotation for Quantitative Analysis of Latin Lexical Semantics (COALA) project will be led by Dr Barbara McGillivray from King’s Department of Digital Humanities. The study aims to revolutionise understanding of language evolution using computational tools.

“This research will offer new insights into how meanings of words evolve over time and across historical texts,” said Dr McGillivray. Dr Mark Hedges, Head of the Department, added that the project will significantly advance the university’s growing profile in computational humanities.

These initiatives underscore the United Kingdom’s ongoing efforts to drive forward academic research with global relevance.
