Global Research Priorities

GRP logoWelcome to the Global Research Priorities (GRP). Responding through research to global challenges, the GRP will focus Warwick’s world-class, multidisciplinary research on key areas of international significance, by bringing together scholarly expertise from across faculties and departments.

The programme specifically aims to:

  • present Warwick’s major areas of research strength around interdisciplinary 'grand challenges', giving emphasis to areas which can make a globally distinctive contribution
  • increase our research income by better addressing the needs of funding bodies
  • showcase our research excellence and demonstrate its impacts
  • provide support for and enhance our multidisciplinary and cross-departmental research

Themes for the GRPs were approved by Research Committee in September 2011. These will seek to combine areas of research strength in the University, across departmental boundaries, in order to enhance our ability to respond to funding bodies’ priorities’. Each theme is currently developing ideas, expanding existing or creating new networks and scoping out the future shape of their programme.

The operation of the GRP will be overseen by the Pro-Vice Chancellors for Research and will report to Senate via the Research Committee.
