Knowledge Exchange and Research Institutes (KERIs)

The Behaviour, Business, and Policy (BBP) KERI pushes the boundaries of interdisciplinary research and knowledge sharing where human behaviour, business, and policy meet.

Our activity is centred around creating innovative, evidence-based solutions that tackle society's toughest challenges and pave the way for a fairer, more sustainable future.

We bring together academia, industry, and policymakers to spark meaningful change, both across the region and around the world. With a strong focus on diversity, inclusivity, and ethical practices, we're empowering students and researchers to become the next generation of thought leaders – driving positive change in policy, business and society.

The Cyber, Engineering and Digital Technologies (CEDT) KERI is a dynamic hub for creativity and collaboration, connecting engineers, scientists, industry experts, policymakers, and local communities.

Our goal is to push forward advancements in cyber, engineering, and digital technologies through cutting-edge research, cross-disciplinary teamwork, and solid partnerships with industry.

We're dedicated to nurturing the next wave of forward-thinking leaders, giving them the tools and ethical grounding to spearhead responsible, meaningful, and sustainable tech innovations that truly matter.

The Design Arts and Creative Practice (DACP) KERI brings together a diverse group of artists, designers, filmmakers, performers, and other creative experts to spark innovation and make a real impact across the creative world.

Our work supports the ambitions of our students and staff, expanding the University's role in shaping industry, policy, and the community for a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable future.

By fostering collaboration and building strong partnerships, we are creating an inclusive, dynamic research environment that tackles today's challenges and helps shape the future of creative practice.

The Health, Education, and Society (HES) KERI is focused on tackling some of the biggest challenges in health, education, and society. By bringing together experts from areas spanning life/chemical sciences, nursing, social care, and education, we're working on research that makes a real difference in people's lives and helps create a more connected and thriving future.

We work closely with communities, industry, and global partners to turn innovative ideas into practical solutions that improve wellbeing and shape policy and practice worldwide.
