A History of Innovation
Brighton and Sussex have a remarkable history of scientific innovation. The Royal Observatory at Herstmonceux Castle served as the home of the Royal Greenwich Observatory from 1957 to 1988, cementing the region's connection to astronomical research. The University of Sussex, founded in 1961, quickly established itself as a powerhouse of scientific research, attracting world-class talent within its first decade. More recently, Brighton has earned the nickname "Silicon Beach" as its creative and technology sectors have grown to encompass over 1,500 digital businesses contributing more than one billion pounds annually.
Inspiring STEM Role Models
Sir Harry Kroto, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Sussex, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996 for his co-discovery of fullerenes (C60 buckminsterfullerene), a breakthrough that opened entirely new fields in nanotechnology and materials science. Sir Archer Martin, who shared the 1952 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the invention of partition chromatography, also held a position at Sussex. Professor Antonella De Santo, who became the University of Sussex's first female Professor of Physics in 2013, leads experimental particle physics research on the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Brighton-based studios and entrepreneurs have played leading roles in the UK's gaming and creative technology sectors since the early 2000s.
