Vietnam Virtual Exchange for English Language Teaching

ViVEXELT (Vietnam Virtual Exchange for English Language Teaching), is a collaborative action research project between Coventry University and Hanoi University of Science and Technology. 


Hydrodynamics and metering of two-phase (liquid/dense gas) flow for carbon capture and storage

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a global strategy considered essential to mitigate climate change. The technical challenges for Brazil are severe, where the pre-salt is a complex of carbonate reservoirs in ultra-deep waters, under a thick layer of salt.


‘Faithful’ Mothers and the Politics of Nurturing Future Secular Citizens

This fellowship will build a body of scholarship and a research network to explore the significant but unrecognised roles that mothers play in the formation of citizens and state-building, during and beyond times of conflict.


Scoping knowledge of gambling and gambling-related harms amongst international students

Across two UK universities, we will conduct a preliminary exploratory online survey with international students about awareness of and attitudes to gambling.


Nexeon Faraday Challenge R5: NewBATSEED- New Biomass Anode Technology and Silicon Electrodes with high Energy Density

The New BATSEED (New Biomass Anode Technology and Silicon Electrodes with High Energy Density) project supports two innovative development strands for the next generation of automotive EV battery cells and anode materials, delivering a significant boost in energy density.


LiSTAR - Li-Sulphur Technology AcceleratoR

The UK Government has banned the sale of petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles from 2040. For this to be achieved and for the adoption of increasing amounts of renewable energy, improvements in battery technology are needed.  


EXtrAPower

Nyobolt Ltd is bringing to the market an ultra-fast charging battery technology, providing a solution to critical unmet needs in the automotive sector and beyond.


Healing Bat

The Centre for E-Mobility Research (CECG) is one of 10 organisations from six European countries to have joined forces and secured the significant funding under the umbrella of the Horizon Europe Programme. 


Allostery-driven G protein selectivity in the adenosine A1 receptor

The A1R is a high-value drug target but is linked to serious cardiovascular side effects because it activates multiple G proteins. 


West Midlands Local Productivity Innovation Partnership

Coventry University are a project partner to phase 1 work which provides resource and support capacity across stakeholders to undertake partnership development and landscape evidence analysis required to design the phase 2 work programme.


Characterising Neurological Disorders with Nonlinear System Identification and Network Analysis

With an increasingly ageing population, neurological disorders (ND), including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease (AD and PD), are becoming the second leading cause of death and the world's largest cause of disability-adjusted life years. Currently, incurable ND have a devastating impact on individuals, families and a heavy economic burden on societies.


ComMent: Social Enterprise Training for Community Mental Health Care

The purpose of the ComMent project is to create educational resources for entrepreneurial skills development tailored to the identified mental health professionals” needs.


Bog Biographies: Combining high spatial and chronological resolution ecological modelling for understanding societal and cultural resilience

Iron Age ‘bog bodies’ have fascinated scholars and the public alike for over two centuries due to their exceptional preservation. Research has typically focused on forensic examination of the bodies themselves but, despite much revolutionary scientific research, debate surrounding why individuals were killed and deposited in bogs has stagnated. Consensus generally remains divided between two key themes originally suggested in the early 19th and 20th centuries: capital punishment, and ritual sacrifice.


Design and evaluation of peat-free blocking media

The production of field vegetables and salad crops is highly dependent on transplanted seedlings that are grown in media often containing peat.


UK-France Hydrogen Energy Research Collaboration for Enhancing Research & Innovation

This project aims to build a collaborative partnership between Coventry University and Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA).


Non-Newtonian Taylor-Couette Flow Experiment with a High-precision Rheometer

Fluids in many industrial settings such as food processes, glass manufacturing or metal casting exhibit non-Newtonian behaviours (e.g. shear stress is not proportional to shear rate). For processes like mixing, pumping or production in industry, understanding and applying the dynamics of non-Newtonian fluids are important to optimise the processes. Fundamental research explored non-Newtonian fluid dynamics through a canonicalsystem called Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, a shear flow between two concentric cylinders rotating independently. While keeping its simple geometry, the flow demonstrates the richness of complex phenomena such as instability, pattern formation or turbulence.


Subtle Agroecologies: Farming with the Hidden Half of Nature

This research programme comprises a growing number of research projects, doctoral studies, academic publications and outreach activities. Subtle Agroecologies “is not a farming system in itself, but superimposes a non-material dimension upon existing, materially-based agroecological farming systems. It is grounded in the lived experiences of humans working on, and with, the land, and with nature over thousand of years to the present.” (Wright, 2021)


Welsh Mountain Equine Rescue – Ensuring Legacy, genetic Identity and continuing Nature based solutions (MERLIN)

Using native Welsh Mountain Ponies in conservation grazing, alongside strategic firebreak creation, offers a powerful naturebased solution to reduce wildfire risk, restore biodiversity, and support rural livelihoods.


 Harnessing native pony power for local land management (Power Ponies)

This research project explores how the hill-bred Welsh Mountain Pony, a local and hardy breed that has graced our landscape for centuries, have undergone a dramatic decline such that there is only around 400 left now. 


Evaluating the potential of intensive grazing and corralling to enhance ecosystem services in Africa’s communal rangelands

This study seeks to quantify the effectiveness of these practices by measuring changes in vegetation, soil quality and wildlife and livestock use, associated with livestock corral sites.
