Climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution represent wicked problems that are influenced by anthropogenic activity and harm the health of humans and the planet. Within the University of Glasgow College of Social Sciences many researchers, across disciplines work on topics related to health and the environment. However, many are working in silos and unaware of colleagues researching similar topics. The Global Health and Environment Interdisciplinary Research Theme (GHE IRT) aims to act as a beacon bringing together social scientists and other researchers across and beyond the University working at the intersections of health and the environment to showcase their existing research, forge new collaborations, and grow interdisciplinary research in these critical areas.
Skills and Culture - the aim is to establish and expand awareness about the new GHE IRT, identify interested researchers, and foster research collaboration across schools and colleges.
Research Income - the aim is to support and encourage grant application submissions, particularly for external grants, and provide assistance in grant writing for early career researchers.
Impact, Engagement, and Dissemination - the aim is to promote engagement with non-academic audiences, enhance communication across disciplines in GHE research, and showcase the impact of the research through events like research exhibitions.
