Centres of Research Excellence

Centres of Research and Knowledge Exchange Excellence (COREs) produce outstanding, internationally-excellent research and knowledge exchange. COREs transcend subject and discipline boundaries and tackle the most pressing global issues; they allow us to articulate our intellectual and research leadership and develop and maintain strategic relationships with key stakeholders.

Our 16 research COREs address focused research agendas and contemporary societal challenges while providing a rich and supportive environment for established experts and the next generation of talent from our thriving postgraduate and early career researchers alike.

Through the thumbnails below, you can visit each CORE website for overviews and contact details, discover links through to project and staff detail on our research database, and engage with the latest news on their blog sites and Twitter feeds.
