Research projects
Our researchers are working on exciting projects that deal with the most-pressing issues facing individuals, societies and economies around the world – and searching for solutions to the environmental crises that are jeopardising the future of the planet.
They're also expanding our knowledge, through theoretical and applied research, of topics as diverse as Cosmology, Health Informatics, Criminology and Digital and Creative Technology.
