Cross-School Research

The Research Strategy Office works with researchers and the Schools to facilitate innovative cross-disciplinary research and institutional projects that require central support. Bringing together expertise and diverse academic perspectives in this way increases opportunities for funding and industry partnerships and strengthens the ability to tackle important research challenges facing society today. On behalf of the Research Policy Committee, we manage the University’s support for Interdisciplinary Research Centres, Strategic Research Initiatives and Strategic Research Networks. We also help to build other cross-School research networks and support cross-School collaborations that can bid successfully for larger grants.
