Our Approach
-
Working across borders and islands
Climate change, biodiversity loss, and water pollution don’t stop at borders and neither do we.
-
Bringing different people and fields together
We work across many areas and sectors to understand problems from all sides and turn research into real solutions.
-
Focusing on solutions
We aim to create real-world solutions that help communities, support educators, guide policy, and work for businesses.
-
Making fairness and inclusion a priority
We are committed to fairness and inclusion throughout our research. We engage with a broad range of people and communities to ensure that our work is relevant, respectful, and responsive to different perspectives.
Who We Work With
We work with many different people and groups, including:
Our Funders
The Co-Centre award is managed by Research Ireland, Northern Ireland’s Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and supported via UK’s International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) and the Irish Government’s Shared Island initiative.
Our business projects are part funded by our industry partners.
We receive philanthropic funding from the Sunflower Charitable Foundation, which funds several of our PhD studentships.
