Economies
Thematic axes and key academic staff
Students will have a supervisory team composed of a mentor from a practice organisation as well as two academic supervisors from different disciplines across the social sciences/humanities and the sciences, broadly understood to encompass natural sciences, engineering and medicine.
The cluster will also build upon existing research project partnerships with non-academic partners such as: Arup, Jaguar Land Rover, Severn Trent, HighValue Manufacturing Catapult, Food Standards Agency, International Institute for Environment and Development and the South Centre (Geneva).
