Education and social research groups
Our research spans eight thematic areas, focusing on activity that contributes to society, culture, the environment and the economy.
Research areas
ESRI’s research is split into eight thematic areas, focusing on activity that can engage children and young people, practitioners and collaborating partners. We also have two laboratories, the Manifold Lab and the Living Lab, which are multidisciplinary research hubs. They contribute to ESRI’s ability to conduct different kinds of research on campus, with young people, and in different communities.
If we are going to solve the big problems of the world, we need people who are free thinkers. ESRI is full of free thinkers and people who are not afraid to go out there and spend time in communities learning.
