Research

Imperial has an established track record of leading multidisciplinary research collaborations, as well as convening a broad spectrum of external partners to bear on societal and industrial problems, particularly through the work of established centres and institutes such as the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment; Institute of Global Health Innovation; Centre for Environmental Policy; and Energy Futures Lab.

These centres have already had a transformative impact in helping to achieve the SDGs. For example, by pioneering new advances in electrochemical materials to improve batteries and fuel cells for sustainable cities and transport; driving improvements in disease screening by combining artificial intelligence (AI) and clinical medicine; and helping farmers in Africa improve crop yields and protect against drought with innovative new financial instruments. 

The Hub also runs a successful Research Bid Development Support programme.
