Focused on the multifaceted dynamics of ageing, end-of-life care, and social policy, the project delved deep into the intricate intersections of public health, economics, grief, and hospice care. Bringing together thirty students from Bath and China, the endeavor not only enriched their understanding but also fostered a remarkable exchange of academic insights and cultural perspectives.

The collaborative funding facilitated an array of impactful outcomes, including academic publications, international workshops, and strategic partnerships, amplifying the discourse surrounding end-of-life care and social policy. Through expertise-sharing fellowships, research collaborations, and scholarly publications, the project left an indelible mark on both academic scholarship and real-world policy implementations. Moreover, by engaging in teaching opportunities, fostering international connections, and expanding the influence of the Centre for Death and Society (CDAS) and the University of Bath, the project's legacy extends far beyond its duration.

Through an observation and state-of-the-art modeling, the project unveiled the pivotal role of supernova explosions in driving the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium, thus shaping the baryon cycle within galaxies. This endeavor resulted in a prolific output of 19 peer-reviewed publications and garnered international recognition through 20 conference presentations, solidifying Bath Astrophysics' position on the global stage.

Notably, the collaboration's longevity was sustained and enhanced by the seed funding, facilitating essential in-person exchanges amidst pandemic-induced constraints. Moreover, the project's success reverberated in the academic community, contributing to the promotions of Professor Wuyts and Senior Lecturer Ptricia Schady, while also nurturing the professional growth of Bath Astrophysics PhD students.

This synergy between research excellence, international collaboration, and academic advancement underscores the transformative impact of strategic partnerships in advancing the frontiers of astrophysical inquiry.

This groundbreaking project aimed to understand dynamic revetment performance and develop tools for robust design, crucial for coastal protection. Seed funding enabled collaborations with key institutions, leading to significant advancements. Dr. Blenkinsopp's involvement in a large-scale experiment funded by the US Army Corps of Engineers highlights the project's impact.

The project's impact has been profound. Dr. Blenkinsopp's leadership in international research on dynamic revetments has made it a primary solution for high-energy coastlines. Successful implementation in Washington State has led to widespread adoption, with dynamic revetments becoming key to coastal defense strategies. Collaborations with the Scripps Institute of Oceanography have solidified Dr. Blenkinsopp's status as a leading authority, yielding innovative techniques and solutions for sustainable coastal protection. The project's tangible outcomes, including the safeguarding of vulnerable communities, lay the groundwork for future Impact Case Studies.

Inspired by nature, the project aimed to create artificial muscles that offer high-power, high-energy density, and damage tolerance, crucial for advancing soft-bodied robot technology. The outcomes of this research hold promise for diverse applications in healthcare, environmental conservation, and social assistance.

Leveraging existing collaborations between the Centre for Power Transmission and Motion Control (PTMC) at the University of Bath and the State Key Laboratory for Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems (FPMS) at Zhejiang University, the project has expanded interdisciplinary cooperation between the Materials and Structures (MAST) Centre at Bath and Zhejiang University.
