Research volume We have a live portfolio of research grants and contracts with a value exceeding £600M, demonstrating the global competitiveness of our research and its ability to attract investment. Crosscutting interdisciplinary research themes We have invested in building University research themes in areas of major strength including Crime & Security, Data Innovation, Neuroscience & Mental Health and Environment & Climate. Together our researchers are helping to create a stronger, healthier and more sustainable world. Strategic partnerships and collaborations We co-create and deliver our research and innovation activities in partnership with a wide range of other organisations from the NHS to local governments, the Cardiff Capital Region and companies from local SMEs to global, blue chip household names. We have a formal strategic partnership with the UK Office for National Statistics with others to be announced soon. £600 million We’re undertaking our biggest campus upgrade for a generation by investing £600m to improve and develop our facilities and infrastructure.
World leading Impact Our research makes a positive
impact to the economy, to the health and wellbeing of the population and to society more generally. We are building an industry-led compound semiconductor cluster here in South Wales and we will open the World’s first social science research park later in 2021. Our work with Public Health Wales on COVID-19 genetics is critical in the fight against the pandemic. We are ranked second in the UK for the impact of our research.
