‘Procurement for Good’ - Place-based approaches to sustainable food supply chains: scaling socio-technical innovations as enablers for enhancing public sector food procurement

To critically evaluate the conditions in which place-based public food procurement networks, utilising open-source socio-technical innovations can scale to deliver the transformative changes needed for socially just transitions in food systems.


Evaluating peat-free propagation media suitable for production of high-quality ornamental transplants

The project aims to fill the scientific knowledge gap in peat-free plant production in ornamental horticulture. 


Support to Traditional Cultural Practices in Northern Iraq

This project foregrounds the linkages between cultural meaning and agricultural landscapes to examine the compounded social, cultural, agricultural, and economic effects of the IS occupation on ethnic and religious minority communities in Northern Iraq.


r-LightBioCom

r_lightBioCom’s ultimate aim is to enable the design and production of sustainable composite structures. Ultimately, this will lead to more efficient systems such as lighter and more durable planes and cars which can be re-used or recycled.

AFCAD (Advanced Fuel Cells for Aviation Decarbonisation)

The AFCAD (Advanced Fuel Cells for Aviation Decarbonisation) Project will bring zero-emission, hydrogen-electric propulsion to large, 2-5MW aircraft applications


In-Situ Mobile Application for the Triage of Pedestrians in Vehicle Collision (Sentinel)

In the UK, in 2022, 376 pedestrians were killed and 19318 were injured, highlighting the important societal impact and a notable economical loss of £2.2M per death and £261,498 for each seriously injured victim. 


Developing novel ionomer binders for catalyst layers to address key challenges associated with green hydrogen production and utilisation

The purpose of this proposal is to establish a platform for research collaboration between Coventry University (CU) and Johnson Matthey (JM), aiming to accelerate the development and implementation of advanced ionomer binders for hydrogen technologies.


Push-pull agroforestry-fodder and insect-protein production in women-led climate-smart livestock systems in Botswana and South Africa

Marginalised women-led smallholder farmers who rely on livestock for nutrition, income, and as a safety net, often have limited capacity to mitigate climate change impacts on livestock productivity. 


REFS: Inspiring the next generation of sport officials in Europe

The overall aim of REFS is to inspire the next generation of sport officials in Europe.


Empowering older people and families in fall management: a usability study of the Fallcheck app

Fallcheck is a web-app developed at Coventry University and enables a user to conduct a home-hazard assessment in their own, or a relative’s home. 


Hysteresis of two-phase flows in porous and fractured media: From micro-scale Haines jumps to macro-scale pressure-saturation curves

Fluid displacement plays a key role in a wide range of applications, including agriculture and hydrology, biology, energy and environmental engineering, and industrial processes such as printing and curing of cement and foods.


COSPAR: A probabilistic approach to planetary protection

This project offers an opportunity to update the international COSPAR Policy on Planetary Protection and will develop international leadership in planetary protection.


Modelling turbulence induced by hydrodynamic instability in differentially-rotating flow

Rotating flow is also important in industrial processes to produce homogenised products by efficient turbulent mixing. Rotation profiles of fluid flow are often differential, i.e. the angular speed varies with radius from the rotation axis.


From Farm to Family: Digital Inclusion for Equitable Access to Local Food (F2FDigital)

This project addresses two intertwined challenges: many small producers lack the digital skills, tools, or confidence to sell online, and many low-income households face digital barriers to accessing affordable, nutritious, locally sourced food.


Transferring the experience of Higher Education AcadeMy fellowships from UK to TNE partners: Pathway for EmpoweriNg female academics in the Higher Education Sector in Egypt (TAMKEEN, تمكين)

The issues of empowerment, equality and social justice are among the core issues that the Egypt's Vision of 2030 focuses on. In the next three-five years, the project will contribute to the economic development and social welfare of Egypt.


Female Voices in the Third Space: Researching Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in South-North Collaborative Online International Learning

This study aims to research the evolving field of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Higher Education (HE) through a Global South-North research project, focusing on female voices.


Civilian to civilian protection: Exploring women’s unarmed protection strategies in conflict affected contexts - the case of Ethiopia

This pilot research project investigates women’s unarmed community protection strategies in conflict-affected contexts, with a focus on Ethiopia. Civilian protection (PoC) has traditionally relied on militarised interventions; however, the emerging concept of unarmed civilian protection (UCP) shifts focus to nonviolent, community-led strategies, emphasising local agency.


Making voices heard: Exploring opportunities and challenges of technology use for people with disabilities to engage in politics

This project investigates how technological tools, such as social media, may support or constrain people with disabilities in the development of their political interests and careers.
