Research

From testing plastic eating bacteria to creating carbon-absorbing bio-curtains on our campus, ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº researchers are leading the way in global sustainability.

¹û¶³Ó°Ôº shapes the debate


At ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº, we spark debate to co-create sustainability solutions with the wider world.

We are committed to increasingÌýour sustainability research, with increased focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Ìý

We do this, by opening a dialogue with our wider community, and usingÌýour campus as a living laboratory to create, test and disseminate sustainability solutions.

We have developed a programmeÌýcalled LEAF (Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework) to help scientists improve the sustainability of their laboratories, so our research has limited impact on the environment.Ìý
