Research units
Research organised around systems, not silos.
Eight connected units combine disciplinary depth with the ability to respond to complex cross-sector challenges.
Each research unit develops its own technical depth while contributing to shared work on trust, interoperability, sustainability, resilience and responsible adoption.
