Featured research and knowledge exchange projects

Research and enterprise from the University of Brighton has made a difference to communities and individuals around the world, often bringing together large-scale collaborative networks and the expertise of academics across disciplines. 

Here we recognise some of our long-standing achievements, especially where research has had a major impact outside academia or where partners outside the university have been a vital part of the work. 

For a comprehensive record of our research and knowledge exchange outputs and funded projects, please go to our database of research activity, outputs and projects.
