1.7 Research Centres Constitutions
As part of the University’s Strategy ‘Excellence with Purpose’, the University supports the establishment of centres of excellence or Research Centres, which add value to Warwick’s Research.
The following pages list the University’s Research Centres by Faculty and Category. These have been approved by Research Committee in consultation with the relevant Faculties. The pages detail the current Research Centre Directors and Constitutions. The constitution of a University Research Centre outlines its aims, activities, membership criteria, and details of the Executive/Management Committee and/or the Advisory Board where applicable.
Research Centres can be categorised as follows:
- University Research Centres – Centres which are run across academic Departments, with the leadership of the centre normally spanning more than one Department.
- Departmental Research Centres – Centres which are run primarily from within one academic Department, with the leadership of the centre from the Department.
This categorisation reflects main responsibilities and reporting lines and ensures alignment with strategy. Responsibility for Research Centre governance will sit with Departments, for Departmental Research Centres, and with Faculties, for University Research Centres
