Research strategy and environment

Our research and innovation strategy is rooted in our desire to make a difference in the world.

At the centre of a global research community,  we will deliver transformational fundamental and challenge-led research to advance knowledge and tackle major issues. 

Our environment allows interdisciplinary research to flourish, creating novel approaches to solve complex problems. 

Our community leads innovation and discovery, and our inclusive, collaborative and supportive environment provides opportunities to excel.   

We recognise, reward and value everyone involved in our research.
