Warwick's Interdisciplinary Research Spotlights
Warwick's Interdisciplinary Research Spotlights
A strategic initiative designed to enhance Warwick’s interdisciplinary research capabilities for tackling complex challenges.
The Spotlights showcase Warwick’s excellence in research and impact across six key areas that require interdisciplinary collaboration for genuine progress. With funder priorities increasingly focusing on interdisciplinary work, the Spotlights also enhance our support for cross-Faculty research collaborations.

Spotlight Interdisciplinary Research Survey
We were keen to learn from anyone involved in research at Warwick about your areas of expertise and any research domains you would be interested in exploring in the future.
The survey was designed to map existing research strengths and potential at Warwick onto the six Spotlights, to foster our networks in these areas.
The survey also included an option to join an internal directory, to help with finding interdisciplinary collaborators. It will list researchers interested in doing interdisciplinary research, with short descriptions of their fields of research.
We’re planning to launch the directory early next term, so stay tuned!
