Smartness that really matters: Reaching new levels of customer satisfaction for Sustainable Supply Chain Management

This talk will discuss new emerging research methodologies which are geared towards developing effective solutions for performance/risk analysis of integrated supply chain networks.


DRAGONS: Diffusing biodiversity Response-able Action and awareness raising through citizen empowerment, inclusive engagement and innovative GOvernance of Nature and Society

DRAGONS (Democratising Response-Ability for Biodiversity Futures) is a Horizon Europe research and innovation project that seeks to transform how societies engage with biodiversity loss. Bringing together partners from across Europe and Latin America, the project explores why awareness of environmental problems does not always lead to action and develops innovative approaches that help individuals, communities, institutions and policymakers move from awareness to meaningful change.


Supporting Urban Integrated Transport Systems (SUITS)

SUITS is one of the three projects of the EU’s CIVITAS 2020 initiative focusing on sustainable urban mobility plans.


Aquaculture and Fisheries in Ghana and their impact on food security

To assess the various effects that aquaculture and fishing have on food security and poverty within Ghana.


Sustainable Practices make Sustainable Businesses

Dr David Bek led a project exploring how the implementation of sustainable practices helps businesses to be more resilient, productive and profitable. The project focused upon the horticultural sector in South Africa.


Co-creating a HealthTech evaluation approach that captures what matters most to people living with one or more long-term conditions

The Centre for Arts, Memory and Communities are offering a fully-funded opportunity that seeks to explore the balance of the data needed to ensure useful, valid and reliable measurement.


Intelligent Modelling of Self‑Organised Edge Turbulence in Tokamak Plasmas

This PhD will develop a physics-informed AI framework to understand and predict turbulence at the plasma edge. The student will combine open-source simulations (GENE or its GPU-accelerated version GX, and BOUT++), GBS datasets provided by collaborators, and experimental data from KSTAR to build fast surrogate models that emulate complex plasma behaviour.


REsilient Water Innovation for Smart Economy (REWAISE)

REWAISE will create a new “smart water ecosystem”, mobilising all relevant stakeholders to make society embrace the true value of water, reducing freshwater and energy use.


A Status Market Approach to the Electric Vehicles Market

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are being promoted for their potential for reducing CO2 emissions, local air pollution, and dependence on oil imports. However, their uptake has remained slow despite heavy investment in upstream technologies and production, and a raft of economic incentives to potential consumers. This research will consider the interdependency between manufacturing and services in the context of the interactions between networks of producers, business services and consumers. In doing so, it will enable us to assess how different approaches to consumers can help to develop the EVs market.


AI Innovation Business Breakfast

This free two-hour event is designed for business leaders across the region who want to shape the future of AI adoption and digital transformation.


Green for All

Green for All’s vision is to eradicate green deprivation in Coventry. Coventry is one of the most greenspace and nature deprived cities in England. Green for All’s ambition is to transform greenspaces across the city and work towards 30% of the city’s area supporting nature conservation by 2030.


Coventry University researchers working to make air travel greener and cleaner

Coventry University is working on an industrial project aimed at developing zero-emission propulsion technology for commercial passenger aircraft.


Managing Ash Dieback Disease

This project aims to identify whether factors associated with soil health influence ash tree susceptibility to ash dieback disease.


Water quality performance of permeable pavements

Permeable pavements (PPS) are often the most appropriate sustainable drainage (SuDS) device for highly urbanised areas and can be used for parking areas, low speed roads and landscaped areas.


TERRA Project: Advancing Health-Based Solutions for Agroecological Wheat Production

The objective of the TERRA Project is to develop agronomical trials to test the effects of DHDs as an agroecological method to support wheat plants subjected to hydric stress.


Embedding care for people and planet? Designing sustainable floristry

This project focuses upon ways of integrating technology into flower bouquet design. Traditional bouquet design is based upon human skills and instincts, however the advent of technology opens up a new array of possibilities for designing bouquets that speak to consumer desires and wider societal goals.


SE Recycling (SER) Bioleaching KTP project for metal recovery from EV batteries

This partnership with SE-Recycling is developing sustainable bioleaching-based processes to recycle metals from Lithium-based batteries. This sustainable technology delivers a solution that retains precious metals in UK industry, with wider economic benefits including skills development and job creation.


Waste Food-Energy-Water Urban Living Labs - mapping and reducing waste in the food-energy-water nexus

We aim to map and substantially reduce waste in the urban food-energy-water (FEW) nexus in city-regions across three continents: Europe, Africa and South America. We will establish four Urban Living Labs (ULL) of key stakeholders who will undertake participatory research to: a) map resource flows; b) identify critical dysfunctional linear pathways; c) agree the response most appropriate to the local context (e.g. policy intervention, technology diffusion); d) model the market and non-market economic value of each intervention; and e) engage with decision makers to close each loop.


Investigating environmental pollution in India by Contaminants of Emerging Concern transported in floodwaters and the potential of bioremediatation using Nature-based Solutions

This project studies how floods move harmful chemicals in a city in India and looks at natural ways to reduce this pollution. The PhD will take place in India and the UK, combining fieldwork, lab experiments, and advanced chemical analysis using mass spectrometry.


Managing the migration crisis? Undocumented migrants and refugees at Europe’s southern border

Over recent years, hundreds of thousands of people have crossed the Mediterranean to Italy as part of what has come to be known as Europe’s ‘migration crisis’. An intensification of controls on international population movements has taken place both at sea and after arrival. This project seeks to better understand what the impact of attempts by EU institutions and national governments to manage the crisis has been on migrants’ status and journeys. It serves to document the ongoing crisis through the experiences of newly arrived migrants and refugees.
