Bacteria can recover precious metals from electric vehicle batteries

Researchers from Coventry University’s Centre for Sports, Exercise and Life Sciences have developed a new environmentally friendly solution for recycling electric vehicle (EV) batteries by recovering all metals in them using a process called bioleaching.


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.


New Business Models for Intelligent Transport Systems (NEWBITS)

The NEWBITS project provided a deep understanding of the changing conditions and dynamics that affect and/or influence Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) innovations, informed by 4 case studies from successful ITS implementations in transport.


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.


UK’s first homegrown production of a vital chemical for electric car batteries supported by Coventry University

Coventry University is playing a key role in a major new project to strengthen the UK’s electric vehicle (EV) supply chain by supporting the first-ever UK production of a critical chemical used in lithium-ion batteries.


How many self-driving vehicles can one person monitor at the same time? Coventry University researchers have found the answer

It is possible for one person to safely monitor up to five self-driving vehicles at once, according to new research led by Coventry University.
