探花直播 探花直播鈥檚 Interdisciplinary Research Centres are established cross-School initiatives that have demonstrated a critical mass of academic support in at least three Schools and have the explicit endorsement of the 探花直播鈥檚 Research Policy Committee. They extend the research priorities and strategies of the individual Schools by tackling cross-disciplinary challenges and creating a shared cross-School vision in key thematic areas. An Interdisciplinary Research Centre generally builds on the aims and achievements developed by a Strategic Research Initiative over a period of six years.聽
Current Interdisciplinary Research Centres
Our current portfolio of Interdisciplinary Research Centres includes:
Bringing together established areas of research excellence across a wide range of disciplines to drive the underpinning research base of data science and address challenging economic and societal issues.
Promoting collaborations at the interface between disciplines by bringing together researchers from the 探花直播 and the Cambridge region (affiliated institutes, Addenbrooke鈥檚 Hospital and the biotech community) whose work has current or potential application to cancer research.
Harnessing excellence in multi-disciplinary cardiovascular research and clinical services to deliver improved therapies, disease management, healthcare and preventive strategies.
Connecting world-leading academic and industry expertise to drive therapeutic development and support the education and training of the next generation of world-leading researchers.
Delivering transformational approaches to understanding and conserving biodiversity through collaborative research, education, policy and practice, based on a unique partnership between the 探花直播 and leading biodiversity conservation organisations.
Tackling grand technical and intellectual challenges in energy by leveraging 探花直播 expertise across formal departmental and discipline boundaries from technology, physical and life sciences to the humanities and social sciences, business and management.
Delivering sustainable and socially acceptable new technologies through transformational research, interdisciplinary exchange and open technologies for innovation
Enhancing the contribution of 探花直播 of Cambridge research towards addressing the UN鈥檚 Sustainable Development Goals through cross-disciplinary research and innovation programmes, founded on a properly localised understanding of the needs and contexts where impact is sought.
Integrating scientific and technological innovation in food quality, yield and sustainability with interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the聽behavioural, social and political conditions of food security.
Promoting programmes of research collaboration and capacity building to meet the challenges of infectious diseases in both developed and developing countries, with particular emphasis on global health.
Connecting language science researchers and practitioners across the humanities, social sciences, biology, medicine, computer science and engineering, spanning 探花直播 Departments, affiliated research institutes, the 探花直播 Library and Cambridge Assessment.
Connecting multidisciplinary neuroscience research and teaching across the 探花直播 of Cambridge and affiliated Institutes, to increase our fundamental understanding of brain function and enhance quality of life.
Working together across the 探花直播 and its regional health partners to create a sustainable infrastructure and interdisciplinary skills base for research that will improve population health and wellbeing at the international, national and local levels.
Facilitating cross-disciplinary research to offer fresh perspectives on a broad range of issues relating to reproduction from global policies to those which affect individuals, families and population.
Creating a world-leading centre for stem cell biology and medicine that focuses on harnessing the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that control cell fate to enable advances in disease modelling, drug discovery and regenerative medicine.
