InoCardia: Human Traberculae Work-Loop Feasibility
The aim of this project was to develop a test that uses human heart muscle tissue in a way that can efficiently test many drugs, to reduce the risk of any approved drugs causing damage to the heart.
Arrival Infrastructures and Migrant Newcomers in European Cities (AIMEC)
AIMEC investigates how newcomers in European cities find information about arrival, and how long-established residents, including those with a migration background, support newcomers.
Managing My Money for the Just About Managing
Through this project in collaboration with the Open University, we explored the potential for education-based interventions to increase people’s financial motivation and generate more positive financial behaviours.
VIBES
VIBES is choreographic and audio collective performance, seeking to make hundreds or thousands of people not knowing each other, meet in a shared dance performance, guided through headphones.
Europeana Space: Best practice network: spaces of possibility for the creative reuse of digital cultural content (ESpace): Open and Hybrid Publishing Pilot
Photomediations was an open source pilot project that sought to harness the image archive (with a particular focus on photography) contained in the Europeana portal in ways that put open and hybrid publishing into practice.
Sustainable Wild Harvest Products
Much wild harvesting is unregulated and poses sustainability risks, and retailers increasingly want transparency concerning social and environmental impacts within supply chains. This project is a response to the need to identify solutions to meet this assurance gap.
From the East End of London to the Favelas of Rio de Janeiro: The relevance and transferability of the social legacy programmes of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LONRIO)
Project findings highlight how clear communication with the local community and proper inclusion in the planning and implementation phases can potentially greatly improve the satisfaction levels of the host community with regard to the event and the legacies it may bring.
COVID-19 and Future Transport
Working in-conjunction with Coventry City Council’s Transport and Infrastructure team, Dr Andrew Jones and Dr David Jarvis sought to interrogate emerging thinking surrounding the future of transport in order to support the Council’s COVID-19 recovery plans.
Export-readiness in the Thai edible insect industry: Devising a Roadmap
Thailand is the world’s largest producer of edible insects, supplying into domestic and regional markets. This research will underpin the development of a roadmap to overcome barriers and which will enable Thailand's edible insect industry to achieve export readiness.
Skeletal muscle fatigue during locomotion
This project aimed to investigate various potential mechanisms of skeletal muscle fatigue that might explain the limits of locomotor performance observed in animals.
COACH - Collaborative Agri-food Chains: Driving Innovation in Territorial Food Systems and Improving Outcomes for Producers and Consumers
COACH will help coordinate strategies and disseminate good practices on how to strengthen territorial food systems and collaborative agri-food chains based on three building blocks: short food supply chains, civic food networks and sustainable public sector food procurement.
Transforming policy and practice towards agroecological transitions for resilient and just food and farming systems in a changing climate
The purpose of our Challenge Workshops is to develop an interdisciplinary network of ECRs in South Africa (SA) and UK specialising in food and farming systems transformation in an era of acute climate uncertainty.
SHAPES (Sheffield Adaptive Patterned Electrical Stimulation)
The SHAPES project has been funded for three years to design, manufacture and trial a self, or carer-managed intervention that could be deployed early after stroke to treat post-stroke elbow spasticity.
Use of digital self-management technology by older people with long-term health conditions
The provision of digital technology to older people may not be effective for a range of reasons for example, low motivation; digital literacy; insufficient support; language and communication skills; age-related mobility or cognitive restrictions. We are interested in understanding these reasons in order to improve the process of matching self-management technology to individual needs.
Using novel computational modelling approaches to address biased agonism at the Adenosine A1 receptor
We seek to apply cutting-edge advanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations to address the complex biological issue of how G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) transition between multiple active states.
The AIR Network - Action for Interdisciplinary air pollution Research
The AIR (Air Pollution Interdisciplinary Research) Network is an interdisciplinary research partnership of African and European researchers and African community members, with the long-term aim of creating innovative, participatory solutions to air pollution and its effects on human health in low-resource settings in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
Creating resilience and sustainability in flower supply chains
The project is undertaking various forms of research to better understand the impacts of the pandemic on the floriculture sector so that longer lasting support can be provided and to better understand the factors which help supply chains to be resilient during times of crisis.
