Female Genital Mutilation Research
Female genital mutilation (FGM) has affected over 125 million girls and women around the world. Our researchers have spent many years working in communities affected by FGM, both in the UK and abroad, to try to understand why it happens and what can be done to prevent it.
Building on its strong automotive heritage, reputation for enterprise and innovation, and its commitment to the low carbon economy, Coventry University is at the forefront of developments in ‘green’ vehicle technologies.

Researchers in our Centre for Mobility and Transport are harnessing the power of Hollywood technology to provide unique insight into the health of gardeners, sports men and women, and dancers. The aim is to learn more about the most complex mechanism known to man – the human form itself.
For many, watching a bumblebee at work around a garden is a highlight of the spring and summer seasons. But global populations of this charismatic insect are in decline owing to changes in agricultural practices and a scarcity of its favoured flowers, and in the last 70 years at least two UK species have become extinct. In an effort to reverse this alarming trend, our researchers are working to deepen our understanding of the plant species found in UK gardens and allotments, and which are best to aid the conservation effort.
The environments we live in – and the infrastructures we build inside them – are constantly under threat, whether from climate change, economic instability or human conflict.
