SBCI's Research Centres:

​

Research Centres create a distinctiveness, uniqueness and a shared environment for specialist thematic, normally multi-disciplinary, research that brings together academic staff, practitioners , postgraduate students and the wider community to work and  address real-world issues and problems.

University Research Centres are groupings of academics undertaking research that is widely recognised as world-leading in an established area of expertise. They address significant international challenges and problems and redefine the parameters of one or more disciplines. Please see below  a list of our SBCI Research Centre's  links and thematic agendas :
