Our Connecting Cultures research promotes and connects diverse cultures, fosters social inclusion, shared ownership, and a sense of belonging. Though all of our work we’re changing lives and bridging gaps through innovative projects that celebrate diversity.
With the growth of our global population the demand for products, infrastructure, and services also increases, creating a growing burden on our planet’s resources and geopolitical relations. To answer this challenge we must alter the world’s approach to manufacturing, engineering, and healthcare.
We are on an unrestricted search for answers to better understand the impact of climate change. Developing a sustainable future focused on clean air and water, biodiversity conservation, and clean energy and transport.
Modern health challenges do not discriminate. Non-communicable diseases and mental health conditions continue to increase alongside growing health inequalities. We are committed to addressing the ever-evolving landscape of global healthcare.
Across the world, millions of people fight for justice – from inclusive education and healthcare access, to gender equality and political conflict. We are on an unrestricted mission to address these global challenges.
We explore what it means to be human – in historical and cultural contexts, within ethical and legal norms and through languages and communication.
From atoms to astronomy, computers to cars and robots to robust materials, our goal is to transform our understanding of the world to make life easier, healthier and more sustainable.
Across the breadth of life and environmental sciences, we discover, apply and translate science to forge major advances in human and environmental health.
We address the challenges facing society and the economy, from shedding light on the refugee crisis, to character education in schools, through to developing leaders in the NHS.
Strategic elements and critical materials are essential to modern society. They are present in many different energy efficient technologies. Our expertise in science, economics and law allows us to answer the challenges that are created by the need for strategic elements and critical materials.
Many technologies use materials with specific magnetic, catalytic and luminescent properties. These range from batteries in consumer electronics and catalysts in pharmaceuticals development to clean energy technologies, such as energy-efficient lighting, electric vehicles and solar cells. Modern agriculture depends on phosphate fertilizers, whose supply is predicted to become inadequate to meet demand within 30 years. Hi-tech smartphones contain over 50 different metals that are essential to their operation. Simply put, without efficient use, recycling or replacement of these metals, the modern technologies we enjoy will become impossible to maintain.
