Research centres

To address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we have approved a number of thematic inter-disciplinary research centres, underpinned by an inter-sectoral approach to addressing these challenges locally and internationally.

In addition to the centres listed below, we have the Moffat Centre located in our Glasgow campus and The Center for Social Impact and Innovation located within our New York campus. We also work collaboratively with other partner universities and organisations across several research units such as NMAHP RU, Scottish Poverty and Inequality Research Unit (SPIRU) and Centre for Social History of Health and Healthcare CSHHH.
