Agriculture Initiative in Refugee Camps
Researchers at the Centre of Agroecology, Water and Resilience have worked with the Lemon Tree Trust to change this and to help transform the landscape of refugee camps with trees, plants and crops. Their project is crucial in making refugee camps greener, healthier and more productive places to live.
Transportation is a crucial aspect of everyday business, particularly for companies in rural areas that often face greater challenges connecting with customers than their urban counterparts. Delivering goods and ferrying staff to and from work in remote locations can increase costs and stifle growth. Researchers in our Centre for Business in Society have been working with local government and industry on an initiative to help rural businesses from a range of sectors make the most of the potential long-term benefits of using electric vehicles.
Rail traveller numbers have doubled since the mid 1990s. With this number set to double again in the next 25 years, this raises a whole host of challenges for the nations networks. Coventry University’s Centre for Business in Society (CBiS) has embarked on a project with companies including Network Rail, Virgin Trains, Serco, Alstom Transport, ID Computing and Oxford University to monitor and subsequently tackle just that.
Researchers in our Centre for Psychology, Behaviour and Achievement have created the UK’s first set of measures to guide health service providers as part of a three-year project into building a support network for adults with Autism spectrum condition, specifically in relation to depression and suicidality.
A healthy and happy population is one which benefits from all facets of society – from early years education to social justice policy – being geared towards preserving and improving our physical and mental wellbeing. Ageing populations and rises in mental ill-health are just some of the significant challenges we face, but at Coventry University we’re transforming the way we tackle these issues – among others – through research.
The creative industries are worth around £87 billion to the UK economy, and higher education institutions play a central role in the sector’s success and future prosperity. At Coventry University our roots can be traced back to a mid-19th century design school, and 175 years later the creative spirit that drove that school’s successful foundation and collaboration with industry is as vibrant as ever, and evident in our teaching and research activities.
The European Space (ESpace) Project – coordinated by a team led by our Centre for Dance Research (C-DaRE) – has been addressing this issue by looking at the creative reuse of digital cultural heritage.
Researchers from our Centre for Business in Society have been investigating new and more effective ways of encouraging responsible lending and borrowing, working with UK credit unions to target the source of the problems and spread knowledge of better practice across the sector.
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. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are being designed and built in Coventry through the university’s cutting-edge spin-out company Microcab, which sits as part of the Centre for Mobility and Transport.
Experts in cybersecurity from our Centre for Mobility and Transport are using their research to develop a unique early warning system to anticipate and tackle these ever-present threats – and in so doing protect UK plc and the personal data of internet users.
UK CITE Autonomous Cars Collaboration
Modern vehicles are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with on board computers, active safety systems and other driver assistance technologies now commonplace. Our researchers are playing a leading role in this field, and are joining forces with partners across academia, government and industry on a new project to create one of the world’s most advanced environments for connected and autonomous driving.
