Global Challenges
Challenging global energy use through online art
The first of its kind in the world, the Centre for Energy Ethics brings together the arts and humanities with the social, natural and material sciences. The Centre aims to engage members of the public through initiatives like the virtual gallery, which is open now.
Building artistry from industry
Dr Victoria Donovan has brought awareness to the rich and largely overlooked history of Welsh migration to Ukraine in the late 1800s, collaborating with archives to develop new ways of sharing the connections between industrial communities across Europe.
The global fight against tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a major global killer with approximately 9 million new cases and 1 million to 2 million deaths per year. The School of Medicine has developed global capacity to improve treatment, developing shorter, safer drug regimens and improving diagnostics for monitoring treatment.
Enhancing resilience and improving lives through tropical peat
