Tackling Global Challenges Together

The ARC co-locates diverse research teams and ideas in an innovative space, designed to stimulate cross-disciplinary activities by removing disciplinary and organisational structures and external barriers.

Research teams will work alongside each other in an open and shared environment that will test and refine collaborative approaches in research delivery. This is the first time a Russell Group University has attempted to co-locate such a diverse mix of interdisciplinary researchers in one research facility.

ARC residents include researchers at all career stages, drawn from across the University. They are encouraged to create and drive cross-disciplinary networks and partnerships, make connections internally and externally, work together to drive discovery research and deliver transformative solutions to current and future global challenges.

The ARC has flexible growth spaces for new and existing connections to develop and grow. Providing room to flex and adapt in response to the dynamic research and innovation environment needed to inspire collaborations at the intersection of different disciplines.

Spotlight on Research
