Interdisciplinary Research Themes

Responding to the world's most pressing problems, and responding to the strategic drivers in our funding environment, requires respectful and innovative interdisciplinary research. To build critical mass in our interdisciplinary partnerships, we are focusing our research development support on five social-science led interdisciplinary themes:

Addressing Inequalities

Challenges in Changing Cities

Digital Society & Economy

Justice, Insecurity & Fair Decision Making

Sustainability

Interdisciplinary Research Themes

Latest updates, events and publications from across all five research themes.
