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.

Launchpads Cluster Management - Immersive Future CW: Paving the Way for Coventry & Warwickshire's Creative Tomorrow

Innovate UK have funded 11 Launchpads across the country aimed at supporting clusters of innovative small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to progress their ideas toward commercialisation, contributing to local economic growth.


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.

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.


Agroecology for Europe (AE4EU)

Building a European network on agroecology to accelerate the transition towards sustainable agriculture and food systems.


Performing Arts Advocacy Alliance

This project is a partnership between Coventry University Centre for Dance Research (C-DaRE), OneDanceUK and Birmingham Dance Network (BDN). The aim of the project is to understand how small arts organizations, artistic researchers and local artists can connect with and influence local & regional policymakers.


Interactive Dialogues: Ethics and Equity in Practice Research - Dance and Theatre

The necessity to engage in a dialogue around the issues of Ethics and Equity in Dance and Theatre have been identified in the field of artistic practice and in the academic sector of Practice Research. This project is directed to PGRs, artists and ECRs.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

At the heart of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), is a number of questions that enquire about a homeless individual’s right to access to basic living provisions such as shelter, personal safety, health, food, and communication.


The Role of Visual Arts Organisations in the British Black Arts Movement in the Midlands

The British Black Arts Movement (BAM) in the early 1980s was responsible for a paradigm shift in UK art history, bringing to the fore the issues, concerns, practices and aesthetics of marginalised artists.


Multi-Area Connected Automated Mobility (MACAM)

The Multi-Area Connected Automated Mobility (MACAM) project is a collaborative initiative. It encompasses a multi-city, multi-operator, and multi-purpose self-driving trial. 


Gendered Innovation Living Labs (GILL)

GILL will be implemented through an iterative co-creation approach structured on a four-phases cycle - understand, co-design, implement, evaluate - repeated twice to incorporate the feedbacks and evaluation results in fine-tuned and validated results.


A Floating World: Memory, Climate and Race in the British Atlantic World

Drawing on an interdisciplinary body of scholarship that combines the history and science of climate change with literary and cultural histories, racial theories, and feminist ecocriticism, this project develops a view of premodern climate change.
