Dr Simon Freakley, from the University's Institute for Sustainability, is part of a team awarded the Horizon Prize by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Join us as we highlight the work of our PhD researchers and industrial collaborations in sustainable technologies.
Two Centres for Doctoral Training are to receive funds from the EPSRC, University, government, industry and overseas institutions to train up to 200 students.
A new £6 million project will explore the extent to which the circular economy can be achieved by the UK’s building stock.
INBUILT project launches to transform European sustainable building practices, testing the suitability and lifetime impacts of natural and recycled materials
From innovation centres working directly with industry to bring products to market and decarbonise industry, to real-time monitoring of chemical reactions and improvement of membranes, our projects are interdisciplinary in nature, crossing traditional boundaries between science and engineering to develop new sustainable technologies.
We design molecules, materials and manufacturing processes to enable a circular economy and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, and take a whole-systems perspective to measuring and embedding sustainability in decision making, using methods from industrial ecology to understand the full environmental footprint of our products and activities.
