Ready, Healthy, Eat!

This project brings together five established local community food projects throughout the UK that will trial different ideas for improving the nutritional value of the cooked food eaten by the most vulnerable groups in their community.


SOIL NEXUS - Building policy tools for water- and waste-based urban soil remediation

This project aims to address the gap between practice and policy in the virtuous use of urban wastes for the remediation of urban soils.


Identification and quantification of trace organic contaminants discharged from waste water treatment plants

The main purpose of this project is to generate pump priming data for novel applications of high resolution mass spectrometry methods for identification and quantification of organic pollutants discharged from waste water treatment plants.


WiCET: Wireless Charging of Electric Taxis

Researchers from Coventry University have played a pivotal role in the UK’s first trial of wirelessly charged electric taxis through making the charging process effective and easy to use.


Hidden hardship: everyday experiences, coping strategies, and barriers to wellbeing in rural Britain

To understand lived experiences of people in hardship in the rural North Cotswolds


Visualising early warning and preparedness in civilian protection: Investigating local vernaculars of community adaptations to insecurity

The overall aim is to investigate the under-studied topic of community signs, symbols and culturally specific communications for gathering, sharing, and responding, in the face of threats of violence.


Identity and Governance of Bodily Extensions: The case of Prosthetics and Avatars

Prosthetics and avatars can both be defined as forms of bodily extension – one mechanical, the other digital. The project investigated what we can learn about bodily extensions by examining these two different forms alongside each other.


A Community-Centred Educational Model for developing Social Resilience (ACES): Playfulness towards an inclusive, safe and resilient society

In the ACES project, we are investigating the impact of transformative education through playful approaches and experiences towards developing social resilience, targeting young people in Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia.


Intelligent Variable Message Systems (iVMS)

The aim of the project was to develop, demonstrate and test new traffic management systems, based on innovative iVMS technology, on three main road arterial routes into Coventry; and to demonstrate the potential for a reduction in congestion in one sector of the city.


Bioleaching technology for the recovery of metals from Electronic Waste - Research Project

The aim of the project is to develop a sustainable and environmentally friendly method to recover precious metals from electronic waste that will create a closed-loop system to recycle metals back into the supply chain as required in a sustainable circular economy.


Co-designing Digital Strategies for the Museum and Education Sectors

The objective is to investigate the challenges and ‘good digital practice’ activities undertaken by museums, primarily with schools, during the pandemic.


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.


Energy Revolution Research Consortium: EnergyREV

EnergyREV is focused on delivering (by 2022) investable and scalable local business models which use integrated approaches to deliver cleaner, cheaper, energy services for more prosperous and resilient communities.


SIGNALS

‘Signals’ is a choreographed live action performance made in response to a series of constructed sound loops that are triggered for the duration of the piece. It is based on an original set of sketches titled ‘Broom-Self/Mop-Spirit’ (1980) found in the Spect. Anon book by the late D. John Briscoe. The performance attempts to decipher fragments from the notes, drawings and typewritten texts, taking cues from invocations and litanies from the Egyptian Book of the Dead and suggesting relationships to breathing, air and marriage.


COV(ID) RESIDENCY

Under the moniker of SPECT.ANON. George Saxon and Ryan Sehmar worked with Vivid Projects as part of a year-long residency to re-imagine worlds under curfew during a shared self-isolation. A series of events, referred to as interludes and intervals, were developed within the environment of an empty space. The audience was beckoned into a wooden structure, where potential action and intervention were recorded at given intervals, as the artists deciphered the interior world (inner space) of this existence together with the fragile tensions and antagonisms presented by the exterior world (outer space).


Virtual Inclusive Cultural Entrepreneurs (VICE)

The Virtual Inclusive Cultural Entrepreneurs (VICE) project has 5 partners from 4 countries: UK, Sweden, Austria, and Croatia. Each bringing complementary skills and expertise in the fields of adult education, teacher training, post-digital cultures, archives, museums, and cutting-edge learning technology.


Building Positive Relationships among University Students across Religion and Worldview Diversity

This project asks how we create a positive university climate for student engagement across religion and worldview diversity.


Postdigital Intimacies and the Networked Public Private

The network looks to create new knowledge on intimacy in a postdigital context. It understands intimacy in the broadest sense. Where most accounts of intimacy focus on sexual or kinship relationships, the network looks to widen this, thinking about intimacy as a relational concept, or series of relationalities.


Aotearoa Somatic Practice, Chronic Pain and Design Network

This project will develop a network of Aotearoa experts in chronic pain from dance and somatic practices, kaupapa Māori methods, health and wellness/hauora, and design.
