Global Research Priorities (GRPs)
Our Global Research Priorities play a crucial role in interdisciplinary research. GRPs respond to complex global problems that can only be tackled through collaborative research excellence. They unite academics from different disciplines to address some of humanity’s most urgent questions, and create fertile ground for new ideas to flourish and interdisciplinary research to grow - enabling us to improve the lives of people around the world.
Global Research Priorities
How could technology improve healthcare? How can we use cultural perspectives to help address major global and societal concerns? What would be the impact on the environment if we all drove electric cars?
Our Global Research Priorities address some of the most challenging problems facing the world today, providing a platform for multidisciplinary research in key areas of international significance, from culture to sustainable cities, energy to manufacturing.
Our programme supports cross-departmental collaboration, enabling our researchers to work together across departments and faculties on issues of global importance.
