Research at Worcester
Worcester is a place of innovative and world-leading research. Our academics come from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds, and have been celebrated for their research achievements, as well as their public engagement and teaching.
"We believe that the fostering of intellectual exchange and cross-disciplinary collaborations are essential to ensuring research excellence. As the Heads of Research at Worcester, we are the main points of contact for our research community, from early career scholars to senior colleagues. We aim to support the development of an ideas-rich environment at Worcester, as well as promote and celebrate the College’s vibrant research culture. With this in mind, this section of the Worcester magazine will always be dedicated to celebrating the research achievements of members from across the Worcester community."
